"Underfolder builds are much more labor intensive than a AMD build"


Is this a true statement if

  • both kits are original factory de-mil

  • Polish kit is built on a Model NDS-1P with plate ("Premium" Polish or Hungarian AKMS underfolder receiver)

  • AMD65 kit is built on an Armory USA receiver.

if the reciever is alaready cut for the underfolder, then not that much involved, but not an extreme difference


most builders charge about $50 more for side/underfolder builds.

I've built both.

It's not THAT much harder or labor intensive.

Okay.  Thanks for the replies.  I'm disputing a charge with a builder right now.  He's trying to bill me $160 extra to do the underfolder instead of the AMD.

well for example this is from redjacket/will's website:

Kit Builds - All kit builds include -

Complete Refinishing with  KG Industries GunKote

and return shipping.

ALL Red Jacket products and services are covered by our UNLIMITED 5 year warranty

( as long as the tank tracks are crossways, instead of lengthwise, you are covered! )

STANDARD STOCK Kit Build - $300 with ALL customer supplied parts

Underfold/Sidefold Kit Build - $325 with all customer supplied parts

Virgin kits - +$100 to listed build price


and by virgin, that means the gas block, fsb, bbl have never been drilled or installed
