Ak47 noob

[columbusprepper]

I'm wanting to get an AK47 but not sure what the difference is between all the models outthere. Some say that the WASR aren't that good. Whats a good reliable manf. that produces ak47s?

Thank you

Arsenal, Waffen Werks, Krebs.

If you want to get a WASR (or any AK), give it a look over, check the sight alignment, gas block, mag wobble, the fit of the pieces, yadda yadda. If it looks decent, it ought to be just fine.

So, I guess what I'm trying to say is to not be afraid of a "low end" AK. It will still successfully go bang every time you pull the trigger.

Are you strictly looking to buy or would you consider building?

Waffen Werks builds the AK-74 and used to build the AK-54. No AK-47 yet. Their stuff is well reviewed.

Go on YouTube and watch every video you can about inspecting AK-47s. Any AK will work but in this market, you are going to pay for it. I would look in the Marketplace and try to grab someone's used rifle.

I'd love to build

one but afraid I'd be in the same place I am w/my ar....got the lower stuff all together but can't find an upper?

If you can steer me to a clomplete parts kit reasonable I'd be glad to build one....may need a little hand holding LOL

I am gearing up to build one. I bought the bending die from AK Builder with both the 1 mm and 1.5 mm punches. It worked really well and I could likely be persuaded to share. The video makes it look like it shouldn't be too difficult, but I am going to have to build up the tool kit a little before starting the process.

Here are some of the current offerings:

Romanian AK-47 Parts Kit, Unissued | Parts Kits | M + M, Inc.

Parts Kits :: Kits With Barrels Installed - AK-Builder.com

And the flats:

Receiver Flats - AK-Builder.com

enjoyed browsing these sites but all of them show out of stock notices.
am I reading right, if you get a reciever in the flat, build it up w/a kit if one can be found one would have a non serial numbered rifle??

 

[TheWabbit]

Flat or 80% receiver. Yes.

mods....we better delete this information before the bad guys figure it out in Washington.....

now who has any of this stuff in stock w/o scare pricing?
or my ar upper?

I think you picked the wrong time in history to buy your first AK (or AR, or Kel Tec Sub 200) but I wish you the best of luck.
