gtbehary,
Does the Tapco flat function with no problems? I have two unbuilt kits and have contemplated bending my own, but will only do so if no issues exist in seating the mag properly. Otherwise, I may just get two of the Global Trades receivers. Next question: How did you fit the receiver with the folder? Did you use a Dremel? Nice work Jim |

I have MolyCoat and AlumnaGuard. I may try my hand at MolyCoat, if I can figure out how to use the airbrush. |

Jim, The mag fits great. The main part about the flats is your ability to weld in the lower rails. I use a spot welder. I used my milling machine for a perfect fit, but when I dimpled the rear rivet holes, the slot got distorted a little and I had to use a dremel to clean it up. Not a pretty picture! Thats why therr is no close-ups of the rear trunnion area! |

 I'm currently working on my OOW receiver for one of these kits. I plan on having the receiver ready to have the trunions riveted in at the VA AK build this month. I'll post some pics once its done. |

I realized that the cleaning rod was off after I took the pictures...it is on now. |

Best choice for this build in my opinion. No extra holes to fill and since it is an AK-74, there wont be any gap between selector and top cover. |

I am not sure. I have never used it before. I ordered the "satin black" so it should be close. george |

The AlumnHyde II that I used is a satin finish. I then oversprayed it with a clear polyurethane to give it a bit more shine. |
