There seems to be a few parts missing...

The trigger pull is so light...almost like its not there!

Looks good.  But where is your fire control group?  Can you give us details on the build?

+1

did you have to have machine tools to complete the job?

I'm trying to figure out if I want to order a romy kit and a complete receiver, but have no idea how I would be able to put it together.

MauserMark,

Your best bet would be to find someone in TX willing to help you with your first build.  I would imagine that there's quite a bit of people in TX who have experience building AKs.  It's certainly not rocket science.  I was fortunate enough to have Socandyman help me with my first build.  Once someone shows you how to do your first one, it's pretty easy to do them yourself after that.

All you really need as far as tools go are a drill press, a solid bench vise, a big hammer, an angle grinder, dremel tool, a pulley puller to push out the barrel, and a pair of bolt cutters to sqweeze the rivets.  

Thats a very nice looking build
