Sure is. This is likely your first build, correct?
I just finished my first build earlier this month (screw build). It was a Romanian 1981 AK kit...
I don't care about 'resale' value since I'm never gonna sell it! Every gun that I've built myself - I've got a TREMENDOUS attachment to them. Parental Pride or something, who knows - but it's nice to know that I've built that AK-47 myself. And it was MUCH harder than building any of my AR-15s, but it was TOTALLY WORTH IT, and a LOT OF FUN!!!
There are TONS of people here with good advice!
Here are MY suggestions for a screw-build...
-Don't start until you've got all the tools required.
-Take your time, go slow, and if you're AT ALL uncertain about something ask questions here before doing anything...
-Read ALL the tacked threads for build instructions, but it's the TRICKS learned from other builders before you that will be worth A LOT to help your build.
-For your first build I suggest using a 100% finished Nodak Spud (NDS) receiver.
-There are *LOTS* of ways to build an AK...
Remember, though sometimes it may seem like kind of a pain in the arse, it's really a LOT of FUN!
I'm building my 2nd one after Christmas (Saw in my online statement for joint checking a charge to DPH Arms - Methinks my wifey got me another AK-47 kit for Christmas
).
