Quoted: i kinda am responsible for popularizing the screw-together ak build method...and i could care less who profits from my expirience. i put up a bunch of pics over at the dorknutz site back in 2000.
i don't know, or care, if my stuff is bng used for free or for profit.
man! i remember all the naysayers and crap that i got from guys saying that was never going to work! heheh!
and hundreds or perhaps thousands of ak's been screwed together since 2000.
i did my first screw-together in 1995 or 1996 using one of the $99 mak90 parts sets and a home made receiver...that seems like a lifetime ago.

Campy, I don't know if you remember since it's well over a year ago that I built my AK, but you helped me out alot with screw build info and I greatly appreciate it. If this guy makes a profit or not off the info I posted I could care less. I took pictures along the way during my build to simply document the process for myself. After seeing so many questions about screw builds, I thought I could pool all my info and info passed along to me by others, and assemble this into a step by step guide for the benifit of others wishing to build their own rifle. I did invest a good many hours collecting this data, editing photos and adding this info to the photos to make the instructions as clear as possible. Not to mention the numerous emails and IM's I've answered with questions from others stuck at some point in their build looking for help. I gladly answered every call for help knowing I too was in that same position during my build. I even recently answered email from the same individual that I think is using my pictures and instructions for profit!
I just think it's pretty rotten IF he simply took the info and pictures I posted here for everyone, ran off copies and tried to sell these as his own. I say IF because all I see he has used thus far is my one photo in his add on Gunbroker, but I can only guess he used more in this kit he sells. Hell, he could have at least used a little creativity and developed his own photos and documentation!
It just dosen't pay to try and be a nice guy..........greed really is powerfull.
