American AK parts
Author: O Nonimus	March 27, 1999 at 21:29:37

I am working on "americanizing" My AK rifle. I am working now on a series of parts to be made here in the US, including a bolt carrier, safety selector, recoil assy, titanium/niobium firing pins, machined gastube, new sighting system, improved magazine release, and a hold open device for the bolt...some of these parts would be modified import parts, such as the hold open/safetyselector. What other things would you like to see for you AK made here in the US?
keep in Mind I am already looking into a milled AK74 and AK47 receiver with a few mods. Email or post what you think I should work on...I am a experienced machinist, and have access to the machinery needed to make such parts, so complexity isnt really an issue.

I am also interested in blueprints for the receivers, this
would help as I wouldnt have to measure out from a sample
bulgarian, feel free to offer suggestions as to how I can
obtain a print for it...

thanks guys...

I would just go down the ATF list and make everything you can. ( making mag parts, though, is silly in my opinion. I'm not going to buy bases and followers for 20+ magazines.) my $.02 Beryl 04:03:17 3/28/1999 (1)
