Damn that was fun! A lot of work but worth it. I wish I had started doing this earlier. It feels so much better building than buying! So much more satisfying! Also cheaper. This one cost me a little less than $200 I have two more Romanian and one AMD65 kit left to build. :) Here is the parts kit (sorry about all these pics. My Camera is dieing :( )  Some during the build  All de-milled  Trying to get that damn Shepard's hook in!  The finished product. It turned out pretty well!   Close up of the rivets.

I got my two romy kits for $60 each fully matching and one was never fired the other was barely used. 2 NDS-3 receivers were $75ea OTD, compliance parts kit from copes will be around $50ea, and a Rivot set off the EE will run me about $5. That puts both of my builds at $190 each in just parts...can't get a WASR that cheap either. I just wish I could find an AK builder to help me build them around Bethlehem PA |
If you dont mind driving a bit, look in the NY/NJ hometown forum. We are getting together a lower NY/NJ AK build party in the near future. Or post in the PA forum. Ive gone to build parties not far from Bethlem. |

Yeah I still have to sand blast it and refinish. I picked up the kit for $100, receiver for $50, and trigger group for $30. I got the rivets from a friend and I already have US mags to satisfy the 922r Nazis until I pick up a new furniture set. I can't wait to start building the other ones! |
