I've ordered an AKMS underfolder kit from Akron Armory and would like to run these parts choices by for review and comments as to their applicablity and performance. I have experience with FAL kits and have put together a couple of ARs from choice parts. Here's my preliminary choices:
- Receiver - Global Trades type-two, one millimeter thick in 7.62 caliber. Thanks to someone here for already suggesting this.
- Muzzle brake - A-559 US manufactured slant brake from Global Trades. Will this fit without adapter?
- Fire Control Parts - Arsenal USA brand set from Global Trades seem OK
- Gas Piston - I might spring for the hard chromed piston from Krebs Custom
www.krebscustom.com/CustomParts.html - Magazines - I don’t know. Can someone recommend some mags that are available now and the source.
- Receiver reinforcement plate - I think I want this but I’ll need to confirm that my builder will do it.
- Builder - I’m thinking of Coyote Gultch Armory to do it since he’s located very close to me and this would eliminate shipping costs.
