Nice pic.....nice idea.
We did kick around SEAK IV in the past......I think everyone wants a Tantal................ |
|
|
|
|
I guess I was under the impression this thread would lead to SEAK IV....my bad.
|
|
|
I would really like one of those. What mags dose it use? |
|||
|
|
Think ORF has them listed for 599... I'm sure with your connections you could hook us up
|
|
Yeah, riiiiiiiiight............. Connections don't help pay the light bill, labor wages, etc..... A $600 kit, plus 922r components, plus labor to assemble...could quickly cause the cost to skyrocket. SEAK III was our most expensive project to date. I think everyone would like to see an inexpensive project on the horizon....but then again with rising kit costs, we may never see that again....... Definitely worth discussing though... |

I vote for the Miss RSA plan!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The next project needs to be planned a little better. I will take responsability for this one. Parts need to be close at hand instead of three months away. Everyone ponder on it. I would like to be involved. |
|
inexpensive - just go buy a wasr or arsenal then. I think the seak projects need to stay on the exotic path. SEAK I was at the forefront of its time. SEAK II same thing - you didn't see any of these with the folder.. SEAK III - trend continues. Lets not go cheap. I'm just saying stay somewhere in the 800-1300 range. A quality piece. |

I almost forgot - with these seak projects Krink, you are AR15.com's LORD OF WAR
Yes, you do have connections - just beg . You're closer in driving distance to ORF than I am. |
|
hehe. and they thought my idea was expensive I would really be tempted by an RPK 74 was well. |
|
|
I think she has great US parts! |

Maybe the 'used' kits from ORF could be the base, and there could be a bit of a price break for the group buy....come on Krink, I know you can work your magic. I'm dying to get a Plum 5.45 RPK. |
|
|
I don't think ORF is flexible on the RPK-74 platform.....
I really think it would be cost prohibitive after you crunch the numbers...... |
|
But the mags, what about the MAGS!!!! Nothing like a sweet awsome custom SEAK with only one mag.
|
|
Ahh Mags... I love mags and you bet I thought of that. Our good friend Krink will hook us up on those. .. in all seriousness - that aspect of this deal would need to be addressed. |
|
|
I'm going to remember that.... |
|

How about an fixed stock M70? An RPK would be nice but unlikely. How about underfolder AKMS? Polish or Romanian. parts are inexpensive and plentiful. I know it's plain vanilla, but unless you want to spend big bucks I don't see much choice. I dont think Tantal is what everyone wants. AMD63s would be nice but I have not seen many of the kits around and I am not giving up mine.
|
|
I would definitely be into an underfolder. I just got my Polish kit today!
|
|
How about a chromed UF? |
|
|
I like it. |

How about a 100 series clone? Mis-matched AKS74 kits $229, combo FSB/GB from Kvar $79, long brakes form AK-USA for the guys who can't go SBR$30, the others SBR. The parts would run under $500 on a group buy. Yes it would have the AKS74 side folder but if you source the poly one from Andrei it can be swapped later with just a little drilling out.
Any one like that? |
|
I like the idea a lot better than a Romy, Polish, or Tantal. |
|
|
I like that one too |
|
|
I think the discussion is headed in the right direction.
What can we do inexpensively, but utilize new parts ?? Keep'r going! |
|
I really like the 100 series idea. Been needing a 74 side folder anyways. I'd think with a bulk price on kits (at least 10) and receivers, we could get the parts under $450 or even less. I think the main thing is going to be finding a builder of high quality that can do all of these right in a reasonable amount of time. Also, I don't want to pay more just because it's a SEAK, than I could gather the parts for myself and have built.
|
|
That's the whole idea behind the SEAK projects. Get it less than what it would cost to have it done yourself. |
|
|
certainly sounds like Inrange wants to be part of it again. I have no problem with that at all. His communication was top notch. The receivers were just out of his control and anyones control for that matter. |
|
|
in all seriousness, where has miss RSA been? Is she missus RSA yet? Can I go on with life?
|
|
Inrange would be good for me, I just thought he was really booked up. If we can have a 50/50 pay thing like last time, that would be great for me!! How long til you guys get your SEAK 3's anyway?

Next 2-3 weeks we'll get our SEAK III's. I think INRANGE mentioned in this thread he wanted to be part of SEAK IV.. Also, the 50/50 works for me too...I can hide it from the wife a little easier |
|
|
That one sounds good to me, too - I'd go for one. Some of the other suggestions are intriguing but, as much as I like my AKs, I can't see paying a lot more more for my next SEAK than I did for my last SEBR... |

not to be a dick. why not just build it your damn self? that way you can build whatever your little heart desires save some money gain an experience!
