Decided to learn how to build my own AK's this year. Here are my first two attempts. It is challenging to keep both
922r compliant and ban compliant (NY kept the failed federal ban as a state ban), but enough US parts and pre-ban mags are available.
This here is a Hungarian AMD-65 on a NODAK Spud NDS-3 receiver. Since the folding stock an AMD-65 comes with is illegal here in NY, I opted for a US made stock. So for those of you interested, the compliance parts are the trigger, hammer, sear, buttstock, pistol grip and receiver. the barrel is a converted Romanian.
Just finished this today. Bulgarian AK-74 on a NODAK Spud NDS-2 receiver. It turned out rather nicely, I think. Compliance parts for this one are trigger, hammer, sear, barrel, receiver, and pistol grip.
Next up is an Egyptian Maadi.
