Ak parts kits...

 

[Crimson]

Nada... complete kits with receiver? You willing to sell any?

Zilch. I totally missed the boat...it wasn't even a few years ago Romy G kits with original barrels were sub-$100 and now they're $300+. Talk about return on an investment. I still throw up in my mouth a little when I think of how many times I could've ordered dozens and didn't.

At this point it's barely worth doing a kit build unless you're looking for something special. Otherwise you'll spend more than something pre-built or a Saiga conversion.

That year I skipped my annual ROTH investment and spent the money on AK kits insted.

Bought from $99 to $140 (Delivered)

This crossed my mind this weekend when I was visiting La and went through my partskits bins and checked my mail...

Shoulda cashed out of the stock market and bought AK kits.

Short answer:

It depends.

I remember think why the hell would I pay 300$ for a krink kit

rub it in.....

 

[MALIBU12]

all I want is one .

Nah, if I was going to do that I wouldn't talk about my G kits. I'd talk about my 74 and 47 Krink kits, my RPK74 kits,and my AK100 stock sets.

Oh, wait...

I have 6 or 7. I am working on a Khyber now.

Just did an inventory last month. Surprisingly I have more Yugoslavian kits than Romanians. Couple years back Centerfire advertised Romanian underfolders, and by mistake #1Bambam called Aim Surplus. They said they had them, so I called. I bought 10 kits at $200 each. Real Romanian underfolders are gold. When they arrived they turned out to be Yugoslavian underfolders. I was going to return them, but some instinct made me stop. Sure glad I stopped. With the ones I had already it put me at 27 Yugoslavian AK kits. Probably 11 of them had shot-out bores, but when Centerfire ran their $12 each Yugoslavian AK barrel sale I loaded up on them, and now all my Yugoslavian kits have almost brand-new barrels.

I'm still trying to figure out how to make the Romanian RPK kits accurate. Most had shot-out bores, and the Green Mountain barrels are too thin at the receiver to fit a real Romanian RPK trunnion.

I didn't get too many AK74 kits. Too bad, because I have a LOT of 5.45mm ammo.

At the moment I have an 1880s Nepalese Snider cavalry carbine on my bench. It's in surprisingly good condition.

I found another Tantal kit...

Think that makes 5 74 kits I think (The rest Bulgarian) All original barrels.

I've got 10 almost done kits I didn't count in the total... Probably finish up a couple this week.

This thread ties in with the one about storage bags for guns. With all these AKs, I've realized the need for a way to store them, so I don't have to keep cleaning them. Likewise I think they'd be useful for long-term storage of kits, since I can't realistically build all the kits I have before I have to start worrying about rust.

Wait! Wait! I found a box with six more! 2 Polish, one Romanian, and 3 Yugoslavians. Sweet!
