The AK Build, Finally Complete.

Last night I finally had the time to finish up my AK build that has been sitting dormant for a while now.  Many thanks to one un-named member with helping me through the barrel press in and head spacing.

I went with the Atlantic Firearms barrel.

Nice work.  It turned out well.....it's a shame there's parts left in that box you can't use.  But, still..very nice.

Good catch Caster. I had to take a second look.

Just got done with my test shooting. Put about 180 rounds through it without it blowing up in my face, so that's good....

Looks great!

 

I finally got the receiver to build mine (have all theparts now). Now all I need is a tool to squeeze the rivets. I may be asking a few questions when I start the build process.

I'm not even close to being an expert but I can at least tell you where I went wrong.
