AR-15 BS Thread

I almost bought a Colt that was very similar to that around the first week of November. It was around 1200 at my local chain store.
Very happy I got talked out of that purchase.
I got so much more gun for only ~$200 more.

 

fuck that shitty ass company so hard. who the fuck is still supporting them?!

 

^this!

 

I know this is an AR15 thread but need some advice on an AK47 build!

 

there is an AK thread, a Firearms BS thread, and a show off your gun thread.

might try one of those

 

that is so wrong... they have really shown their true colors over the last months

 

not i. i will NEVER do business with them again. ever.
fuckin scumbags

 

Thanks, I knew about the show off your guns thread but not the AK thread is it frequented like these two great threads?

 

Im building an AK right now, gonna finish on Saturday

 

Pics and tips, places and prices! Maybe more people will build thier own, the government can't take away what they don't know you have!

 

I bought the kit from GB, I was watching 10+ AK kits for sale, and picked the one that was the cheapest right before the auction ended, which was a almost 100%complete Polish parts kit, fixed stock, just missing the receiver. I got the rest of the parts of http://ak-builder.com which included the actual receiver, rivets, center guide, and US made and CA compliant parts like muzzle brake, trigger group, etc.

I'll take some pics this morning. Calguns.net has monthly AK build parties where gunsmiths teach and guide a whole group of people to build their AKs. It's usually a $80 fee and they provide you with all the equipment and tools to turn an AK parts kit and receiver flat into a fully functional AK. No need to register and no need for serial numbers (although it is recommended) either since it's considered home built.

What I Paid:

- $385 for full parts kit
- $30 for receiver flat
- $9 for rivets
- $7 for center support
- $30 for US made trigger group
- $38 for CA Legal Mag Lock
Total: $499 without magazines

 

Here is my almost finished 7.62x39 Piston AR:

 

Nice! Good info thanks

 

who makes that upper and what'd it set ya back? also do AK mags fit in the AR lowers or is that a specific Lower for the 7.63x39?

 

ARP (http://www.ar15performance.com/) built the upper. It has an adams arms piston system. I bought the upper fully built, slightly used (30 rounds), with magazines, ready to fire, for $1300. I chose buy it now because i didnt want to risk missing out. I bidded on a couple PWS 7.62 piston uppers but they went all the way up to $2000 (just for the upper!).

 

AK mags dont fit in standard AR lowers, which is what I have. I posted a little bit up about a modular lower that takes AK mags.

 

Already gone. They must have had two cans in stock.

AIMSURPLUS has 5.56 in stock for 0.50 a round right now. Won't last long.

 

PSA lower parts kit for $85.
