I bought a Rommie Kit from Clearview Investments..
At the moment I have exactly 108.49 shipped into it..
I want to do a screw build because the tools I have are best suited to that kind of build... this being my first build I need an easy one with a minimum of tool investments.
Where are the best places to get compliance parts?
I want this to look like a Romanian AKM.. Blued finish... dark red wood... standard pistol grip and front foregrip.
The 16 countable parts in a AK with a muzzle device. No more than 10 of these parts may be imported.
(1) Receiver
(2) Barrel
(3) Trunnion
(4) Muzzle attachments
(5) Bolt
(6) Bolt carrier
(7) Gas piston (Should I spend the change on an RSA improved Gas piston or find one for cheaper?)
(8) Trigger }
(9) Hammer } RSA Trigger group
(10) Disconnecter }
(11) Buttstock
(12) Pistol grip (????? original looking or good dark red US pistol grip?)
(13) Forearm handguards
(14) Magazine body
(15) Follower
(16) Floorplate
I've decided I want an RSA trigger. It just sounds like it'll be fun out of the box and worth the money spent.
So I'm looking for a good pistol grip with dark red wood or a good light colored one to refinish to match the original stocks.
Whats the general opinion on the RSA Gas piston? Is the improved design "improved?" or just more metal and some more grooves? If I'm already getting the trigger I wont save much over anywhere else after you factor in shipping.
Any opinons on the RSA retainer plate? Or should I learn to struggle with the shepheards hook?
thanks for any info.
