My gun budget funding request has been approved by my supervisor!  

I'm looking at building a Yugo underfolder to stay cheap, and I have a few concerns...

1.  What's the right receiver?  I don't have the equipment to bend flats, so I'll be buying a complete receiver.  Does someone make an RPK receiver with the underfolder holes drilled already, or do I drill those myself?

2.  I live in a condo, and don't have any significant "shop equipment" like a drill press for drilling into the old rivets.  Will I be able to get by with the drive-screw method that's tacked here, with maybe regular screws for the trigger guard?

3.  Who has the best deal right now on VG-excellent condition Yugo underfolder kits?

Step one:  Get some tools and a shop.  Step two:  Get a Romanian to practice on.  Step three:  Get a polish  underfolder.  Step four:  Get a Yugo, but only if you feal lucky.  

I have yet to encounter anyone who found building AKs to be easier than they expected.
