Anyone have a suggestion for a first build kit/receiver combo? I've read through the pinned threads, but I'm still going to need some guidance. Authenticity isn't an issue for my first kit. I'd like a good functioning AK that I can mold into something nice to look at. I'd like an underfolder, but from what I've read, they seem to be a more advanced build and more expensive. Time frame: 1-2months of build time. Price limit: $300 total. Tools available: Basic TIA |

Thanks for the info. So here's what I bought from www.copedist.com: Hand Picked Matching Numbers.( Bolt, Bolt Carrier, Barrel Trunion) Excellent Condition. Only Imperfections may be the furniture (Remember these were surplus rifles.). These are minus the receivers Cut to B.A.T.F.E. Specs. Very Limited Qty Romanian Matching Number Kit and G2 Trigger Group Qty: Price: $124.99 Newbie question: How do I pick a good receiver to go along with this kit? Does anyone have a suggestion? TIA. |

I have used Gobal trade receivers and have had good luck well decent luck The rails on one of the 74s i'm building were put a 1/8 to far forward but an easy fix. i've heard Ewbanks receivers are good you might try that if you order a Global Trades rec. you might be waiting several months(2+) for the Receiver hope this helps |

Everyone recommends Global Trades and Ewbanks. I am getting ready to order a Ewbanks for my first build because I don't want to wait several months for the Global trades receivers. If you know anyone or can find a builder in your area, you should be able to complete your kit under $300. If you have to buy tools, that could be another story...I'm going through that right now. |
