    Thanks dudes! This was actually my very first AK build. All the information is out there on the various AK forums and Youtube. Unfortunately there is not one single source of info, you have to dig around.

     

    It would be hard in today's market to save money on a build vs buy, parts kits are becoming too expensive. Best you might do is break even. But it is an extremely satisying and worthwhile experience to hold in your hands a rifle you built. You know your gun down to the smallest rivet. And its hilarious to be able to point at it and say "I built that."

     

    I was actually loaned the build specific jigs and tools, and I already had the press and MIG and hand tools. So I was only in it for the cost of the parts. If I had to buy the jigs and riveting tools it would cost twice as much, I may not have done it... Nah who am I kidding--I always wanted to try this!

    I emailed inquiring about AK74 mags, got this in response tonight:

     

    "Mtnarmory thanks you for your patience during the current firearms frenzy. We have had on order, since October of 2012, for more G3 windowed and nonwindowed Pmags. We have had on order, for over a month, the G2 mags. I am not sure when we will be getting more in stock. Our supplier does not know when they will be sending our order out. When the mags, become available, we will send out emails for those who are on our backorder list.

    We do have in stock AK47 steel new 30 round mags. The current price is $30.00 for rebuilds and $35.00 for converted. We are limiting to 10 max on all mags.

    Our website is not working at this time. Please email me with your name,address,phone number, and email address. Thank you for your patience.

    All of our 308 Pmags are on back order also.

    As far as the Bulgarian AK74 mags go, they are too expensive and of short supply for us to carry them at this time."

    Looking to buy a 74 parts kit from a friend out of state. The 74 bayonet lugs also serve to hold the cleaning rod in place, a feature I would like to keep if possible. In order to make it compliant, is it possible to have him grind off the side lugs off the bayonet posts (see red arrows below) and keep the center portion?

     

    thanks!

    Hi all,

     

    Just a heads up, had been there a couple of times last year. Went this past weekend and was told they have a new rule in place, if you are by yourself and renting (not bringing your own gun), you are not allowed to shoot. You need to bring at least one other person. Darn! Girl behind the counter went on to explain they had a couple of suicides at the range over the past year:

    and

    Also checked when I got home and they do mention it on their website:

     

    "

    To help ensure the safety of the staff and other patrons, the following policy is effective immediately:

    • NO CUSTOMER MAY RENT A GUN IF THEY ARE SHOOTING ALONE"

    Was bummed because I had a good time the few times I had been there, a pretty nice place, reasonable prices, casual atmosphere.
