simply put, an ak build is much more difficult that building the erector set-like ar or fal.
it requires riveting skills, a bbl. press or using the freeze/heat process to install the bbl., headspace gauges, a drill press, sometimes a milling machine, etc...to do a proper job. it can be done with less tools, depending on how nice a job you are after. see the post on the "8 hour ak build" here in general discussion for reference. |

if you're like me, have no mechanical skills, or the tools, you would better off having it built by a gunsmith that is knowledgeable and has done a few.....one OPPS and you could easily ruin a receiver, trunion, barrel etc..
there are several very good gunsmiths that can build it for you, and you'll have a rifle that is a million times better then the SARs......but if you're the adventurous type, you could try to tackle it yourself |

Building my CAR-15 was fun.
I don't know how much fun this will be. It may be cheaper to find a good SAR-1. |
