The Polish Bakelite grip would be replaced with a textured Stark AK Grip ($24.95) that has a battery storage compartment. The Magpul ZHUKOV-S shoulder stock ($99.95) is length adjustable, folds and has several QD sling swivel attachment points. Since I didn't want to make a permanent alteration, the shorter MOE AKM Handguard for $36.95 was used instead. I planned to install a Magpul extended Zukov polymer handguard but it would have required filing off the front sling loop. Tapco, by the way, has an informative page on 922(r) compliance that can help make sure you have the right number of U.S.-made parts. A set of Meprolight AK-47 Night Sights for $125.70 were ordered along with a Tapco AK G2 single-hook trigger group for $32.99. I already had the AK magazines I wanted on hand.Īll of the parts needed to build a complete rifle were in place but I had a few upgrades from other companies in mind. The receiver required an FFL transfer just like an AR-15 lower receiver or a complete firearm. A pre-drilled Nitride Treated 4150 AK47 Barrel with 1:10" twist six-groove rifling for $99 was added to the list along with an AAM-47 Black Oxide Receiver on sale for $59. The kit I received contained parts manufactured in 1967, with matching serial numbers, in very good condition (Russian and Bulgarian kits are good choices too).Ītlantic Arms Manufacturing’s American-made components were selected to complete the base rifle set. The bulk of the rifle’s parts were provided in a Polish AK-47 Parts Kit with the original wood furniture for $325. After discussing the available options, I took advantage of the affordable one-stop-shopping solution the company’s website has to offer. Few people are as enthusiastic about AKs and helping home rifle builders achieve their goals as he is. Do you want to grind partially de-milled components (which are still riveted to fragments of barrel and receiver) or would you prefer fully de-milled parts that arrive ready to use? Will the barrel bore be chrome-lined or treated with a nitride finish? Is a new unpopulated barrel (no parts attached) going to be used for maximum customization or an easy-to-install pre-populated barrel assembly to cut down on elbow grease? Will the majority of the parts be purchased separately or as a kit?īefore ordering any parts, I met with Blaine Bunting of Atlantic Firearms. The parts you buy will be determined not only by the features you're looking for but also how much sweat equity you’re willing to invest.
