I was given a romanian kit from a friend and am looking to build it. I know they dont just drop in like an AR, but after reading a lot they dont look too terrible either. Im looking to do this one on a 100% receiver, I want to see how much I like it before I try to get a bending jig and all that jazz. Anywhere TC area sell 100% receivers?

BTW Once its together, would anyone local want to look it over to make sure I did it right so I dont blow up my first ak build?

I bought both of my 100% AK receivers from Oakgrove Arms, DC Industries. I think for a standard(non-underfolder) receiver, they are $75.

I got my receivers for both Romanian kits at Oak Grove Arms - $75.

I really like the NoDakSpud NDS-3 receivers they sell.  I've not had to 'egg' the holes on my builds or anything.  They just go right together, but with all things, YMMV.

I don't know of any other gunshops that stock AK receivers.

Yes, you need a permit to purchase or a permit to carry. I built a Romy on an NDS-3 and it fell together ALMOST like an AR. Also used another DCI receiver for a Yugo kit and it was almost as easy.

I'm in Duluth and could give a couple pointers if you're in this neck of the woods. I don't have any of the cool tools, though. I built mine with a big hammer and some modded bolt cutters.

Oak Grove Arms is great to deal with, BTW.

You are better off getting the NoDakSpud receivers, for the price they can't be beat.

For the cost of a Flat Bending Jig, Spotwelder  and finding a way or source to get your "flat" heat treated wouldn't be worth it, or you would have to bend a boatload of them to recover your investment.

Give  Oak Grove Arms a call at 763-434-2677
They should have the receiver you need in stock, if they don't they can get them really quick

Will do, though Im going to have to wait 57 days until im 21 to get a permit to purchase before I can do that

Though I live in ND, Can I get order one and have it sent to grand forks and have an FFL xfer it to me as a rifle?

If you are a MN resident, any dealer you buy from, regardless of what state he is in, will be required to follow MN law when transferring you a handgun or "assault weapon." MN law is that you need the permit.

If you are a ND resident, then buy one there and follow ND law.
