Buld an AK-47?
I'm considering building an AK-47. I guess the way to go is to buy a parts kit less receiver and buy the receiver parts ready to drill and rivet? Any favorite AK to look for? (Polish, Bulgarian,...) I don't want to build an full auto for legal reasons, are there any specifics on how to make it a semi-auto without being accused of trying to make a machine gun? RogerN |

RogerN Your state, county, and city may have additional restrictions, but making a semi auto rifle is perfectly legal according the ATF as long as standard full auto parts can not be installed to convert it to full auto and the weapon is legal to possess where you live. You are supposed to label any firearm you manufacture for your own use with your name, city, and state. I believe there are also restrictions on the number of import parts you can use to assemble / manufacture your firearm. Most of this information is available on the ATF website, but finding everything you need can be difficult. No permit or tax stamp is required if making an otherwise legal firearm. The tax stamp is required if making a restricted weapon such as short barrel rifle, sawed off shotgun, etc. Some localities may still restrict these. |

RogerN How many more guns do you need? Why not build something that will really challenge and build your CNC machining skills? I'm talking about parts that have curvy/swoopy surfaces. How about building a model turbine or something like that? I'll help you create toolpaths for your parts with curvy surfaces. Why not make the jump from prismatic parts to curvy parts and leave most of the machinist wannabe's in this group in the dust. Idiots like Wieber, Larry Jackass, Tom Gardner,Danny boy, etc. couldn't create CAM program for curvy/swoopy parts if their lives depended on it. |

I read every post the "dumb ****" makes and usually end up laughing my ass off. When Larry Jackass isn't doing home and garden work and bragging about how much satisfaction he gets from doing, what looks to me like some of the most unimpressive stuff I've ever seen, he's cranking out quality website designs like his own: http://www.homeandgardenhandyman.com/services.php I wouldn't trust this "dumb ****" to build a dog house. Check out the pictures of the shelves he put up. Truly awe inspiring stuff. :) No wonder the worthless loser had to move out of Vista, CA. He couldn't hack it there. I noticed that one of the few endorsers of Larry Jackass's skill set is none other than Mark Weiber. That would be the same Mark Wieber that tried to connect with me on LinkedIn. I ignored Wieber's request but I think it's really funny that Wieber tried to connect with me on LinkedIn and then denied it. I saved Wieber's LinkedIn request to connect with me because I thought it was so funny. These clowns are world class losers. All of them. |

Parts kits were snapped up just like ammo. Many people are going to decide they can't do this and will start dumping them. Plus the bigger vendors like Sarco, APEX, Copes etc. are sure to get more in. Of course, The Creek was your best bet. get your parts from Curtis at: http://ak-builder.com/index.php I bend my own flats, for one, buy your receiver he http://www.nodakspud.com/page2.htm or, if you go milled receiver, let me know which one.

Psalm 119 is the longest 'chapter' in the scriptures. And it is a literary exercise in which each section has each line begriming with a the same letter of the alphabet. Try writing a poem following that rule - eight lines all beginning with A, then 8 beginning with B. One could adopt the ancient (pre-chapter numbering) practice of using just the first words as the reference, or in this case, the first word as the sequence. Aleph Ashl' Af ath .... and so on to tan And then repeat with first two words ... -- pyotr filipivich "With Age comes Wisdom. Although more often, Age travels alone." |

I guess the way to go is to buy a parts kit less receiver and buy the receiver parts ready to drill and rivet? Any favorite AK to look for? (Polish, Bulgarian,...) I don't want to build an full auto for legal reasons, are there any specifics on how to make it a semi-auto without being accused of trying to make a machine gun? RogerN Your state, county, and city may have additional restrictions, but making a semi auto rifle is perfectly legal according the ATF as long as standard full auto parts can not be installed to convert it to full auto and the weapon is legal to possess where you live. You are supposed to label any firearm you manufacture for your own use with your name, city, and state. I believe there are also restrictions on the number of import parts you can use to assemble / manufacture your firearm. Most of this information is available on the ATF website, but finding everything you need can be difficult. No permit or tax stamp is required if making an otherwise legal firearm. The tax stamp is required if making a restricted weapon such as short barrel rifle, sawed off shotgun, etc. Some localities may still restrict these. No serial number needed. Nor any Identification of the weapon, unless you intend on selling it at a later date. Ive seen serial numbers composed of $##*^% lettering. Yes, I am sure the SN can be composed of any recognizable character. I won't argue with you since you are a much more avid firearms enthusiast than I am, but from what I read it seems the makers mark is required, but the serial number is not required unless it is sold. |

Thanks for the link! They sell FN49 parts! Not many folks have an FN49, that would be a treasured weapon. I'm a big fan of FN, especially the FN FAL. I'm just finishing building a bunch this week. Karl |
