So I finally decided to just go for it, and start completing my AK's.

They are not finished, but screw build mocked up...

Background:

These are kits (AMD63 on the bottom and some romanian AK on top, so I think), I purchased off of gunbroker almost a year ago, maybe more. I bent the flats I purchased about 1 year ago.

I've spent the last week finally doing something. The most consuming time is prep work, and making sure you have the right tools. Once you do, everything goes smooth. But it's getting those tools ready to work for you, and not against you.

Pressing out the barrels was easy with the right tool, and pressing them in was a snap...


To finish:

Take apart
Trimming of the rails, and magazine area
Nice Looking Cap head screws
Paint Receiver
Put back together
Drop in the guts
And take another picture

About 1/2 days worth or work or so fiddling with them.
 
You're lucky you bought the Hungarian kit when you did.
I can't believe what they're getting for the AMD 63 and 65 kits now.
I remember buying 65 kits for $79, now they're $250

The Romys are still pretty cheap right now because they are so plentiful. But watch how quick they go up as the supply dwindles.
 
Woa.. you were not kidding. I think I bought this for about $120.00 for the kit.

They're now selling on gunbroker for about $350.00
Guess I've been out of it for a bit. I better jump back into the game and pick up a few more kits huh?
