I'd like to see pictures but I would say easily $450.00 to $500.00 for all matching numbers kit if the bore looks decent. You could send the receiver stub off with a new receiver to get identical markings put on a new receiver.

Or have someone who knows what he's doing (and has the license) weld the receiver up.
There are a couple of guys out there who do beautiful work.

I would love to get my hands on a Tula kit like that.
I have a Tula-made SKS I got for $129.00, it had never been issued or fired. I should have bought a dozen of them.

The OP sounds like he has a stamped receiver with a triangle and a 2 marking in it.

That's what I figured, he said it is an AKM kit and those are stamped receivers. I have seen pics of the milled rewelds and those sure look nice. |

Don't have any pics. I should have taken some so you all would have a better idea about what I was describing. The owner wants one of my Romy G builds and 500rds of 7.62x39 for the kit. No other markings that I could see on the receiver stubs other than the one proof mark that I mentioned it was located on the front receiver stub in between the two upper rivets, the mark was faint and smaller than the rivet heads. Bore seemed to be OK (bullet test left about 3/16" of the bullet showing before the casing) no pitting or rust. The front trunion and receiver cover on the inside showed 80-90% original finish. I can not get a hold of the guy this evening, I hope I didn't F-up buy passing on the deal this morning.
Worth the G build and ammo? I only have about $325 in the build and ammo (ammo, receiver, and G kit bought years ago) but todays prices are obviously higher. Tapco unissued G kit $100 NoDak NDS-3 receiver $75 Ammo about $75 Compliance parts about $75 |

Doesn't sound like a bad deal. Wood can usually be fixed up. Laminated? Depending on rifle finish you can do some things to make the NDS receiver look like a match for the rifle finish and make a pretty decent looking clone.

The last Tula AKM kit that I saw sell on GunBroker went for $1250(it looked unfired and all the #'s matched).

I would easily make the trade if a true Russian kit.

No joy! he had traded it yesterday.
The only thing edited was I noted that the star and date were on the rear trunion and I wanted to say rear of front trunion so the edit was isolated to " rear changed to front" Thank you for everyones input but I F'ed up and missed the deal. Iraq property - would that mean it came from the sandbox and how would that have affected its value? I'm betting I f'ed up big time. 
(Edited for lack of question mark.) |

Looked at "JEEM" mark here
http://forums.gunboards.com/showthread.php?t=84568 To the best of my memory that is the mark I saw on the receiver stub. Anyone want to come over and kick me in the ass for passing on this.

That would've been quite a nice kit for a project - a Tula and with the Iraqi Ministry of Defense acceptance mark, to boot. You win some, you lose some.
