[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Finally Finished

Well after almost a year I have finished. I think if I would have just sat down and took the time to do it I could have finished it up in one weekend.

Coles Romi G kit 99.00 Shipped
DCI Economy Receiver 55.00 + 15.00 Transfer = 70.00 (Well Worth It!)
Collapsible Butt Stock 60.00 Shipped
Hand Guard 15.00 Shipped
G2 Single Hook 24.99 Shipped
Pistol Grip 25.00 Shipped
Rivet Set from EE 5.50 shipped

Grand Total 299.49

I guess I could have lived without all the plastic and used wood but I just don't like the look. I don't know why I just do.

Tools I used,
Hammer
BF Hammer
Punches
Dremel (couldn't have done it with out it, but I do have a letter in asking why they have it spin everything into your face if you are right handed)

Modified bolt cutters
Drill and bits
Bench Vice
3 Pennies

Now all I have to do is take it to the Range to make sure it works then off to the paint booth.

Special thanks to all the help from this forum, and to all the great distributors that made it pretty cheap and easy.

Good job man! Congrats on your build. Post a range report for us when you take it out. I'm a function over form builder myself. I dont care if its ugly. As long as the mags click in easy and it cycles every time i squeeze the trigger I'm happy - Zap

There use to be a huge sling mount attached to it. I took it off and will get rid of the ring and insert the piece of plastic back in. I also think Camera angle and flash are making the butt stock look bigger.

I'm guessing he was refering to the stock in general.

Nice Job

~~Where did you get the Coles Romi G kit,DCI Economy Receiver?~~Found the info I needed. I have always wanted an AK but went the AR-15 route instead. Came by a deal I could not pass up. After seeing so many people here show off their sweet looking AK's I have decided I want to build one. I know there is people here that will help me if I need it. Thanks
