What parts do I need to order/manufacture in order to legally build an AK 47?

Question

I know they have AK 47 kits but I want to know everything.... besides the kit... that i will need to legally reassemble the rifle & own it. Also.... anyone know which lits are best?

Answer 1

If you are in california, the rifle will be legal, only if there is no bayonette, or a fed magazine. im pretty sure you can have a fed magazine in other states.

Answer 2

The first thing you need is the serial numbered part - the lower receiver - and this you can not buy in a kit online.  You need to purchase it from a gun dealer.

Unless you have the $300 in special tools and 10 years experience building rifles - this is a bad idea.  Build this with standard tools from your garage and you'll blow parts of your body off - left hand, right thumb, nose, and right eye are the most common.  

Best to buy a fully assembled and inspected rifle.

Hope this helps.

Answer 3

He's building an AK.  It's easy to build with tools in the garage.

Milled is better than stamped.  You need 20% of the parts to be made in the US.  The AKM kit is one of the most sought after and is really well made.

To build a legal AKM type rifle, all you need is the Romanian AKM combo plus the US compliance parts package. That gives you all the needed parts to do a complete legal AK build.  AKM rifle builds require 6 counted US parts and you can chose different methods to get those parts.

Answer 4

Just save yourself the time and frustration and buy one assembled. It is cheaper and easier.

Answer 5

Order the parts kit and compliance parts and either an 80% receiver for about 50$ or flat $15 or a complete receiver for around $100

Building an AK is very very easy at most it requires a $150 receiver jig that can even be rented

Answer 6

There is no need to hunt an animal with an AK47. Just use a rifle, a compound bow or a shotgun like a normal person would.
