AK-47 Build

Hi all,

I'm new here and was wondering if anyone has done an AK build. I have started one with a laser cut and welded receiver with a romanian parts kit, TAPCO G2 trigger group and an A-6 stock.
Being my first attempt to build an AK; I have decided to do a screw build vice a rivet build. I think I'll get the best trunnion attachment with 1/4-28 button head allen screws.

If anyone has done an AK build and has any advice, please feel free to spread the knowledge.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Bob

I just put a Saiga together the right way. http://www.tacticalshooting.com/forums/ ... 0#post2520 what do you think?

I'm on my third flat build right now using rivets. It's not difficult to make a rivet crusher for the front trunnion from a bolt cutter. Just a couple hours work. You can buy or build the fixtures to allow you to crush the other rivets in a 12 ton press.

That Saiga looks great by the way!
