Build party?

also where is the best place to get a receiver (or flats) and barrel

is that tula kit on rguns for 775 a good dea??l this will be my first ak so i dont really know all that much about them

I would say 775 without a barrel for a tula krink is a decent deal, once those dry up expect to see real russian krink kits on gunbroker for over 1000 there's a guy making barrels for those also bulgy 74 barrels can be turned down for those as well.

For receivers nodak's are nice also there are 74u llc. For flats the only way to go in my opinion is ak-builder. Barrels, the only place at the moment that has euro barrels is what a country, I was irritated to discover that they raised the their price to like 140 for a new bulgy barrel. I just ordered one yesterday. Also arms of america has american barrels. If you want a cool folding 74 ak-builder also is selling tantal kits with american barrels installed.

zteknik, I know that i would be willing to contract out some of your park/bluing services. I have a virgin barrel and a receiver that are still stainless on a nearly complete polish build.

Can you tell me what the advantages or disadvantages are between one and another? From you personal exp. I have very little knowledge in the matter

Well thanks for keeping me in mind

I dont know if you'd want to wait untill I finaly move out there though
Im in N.Y and i dont have an ffl so i couldn't do the receiver,but i can do the barrell.

I'm hoping to be moved out there maybee by next fall if all goes well
Now me personaly i pefer bluing-its just an asthetic preferance for me
Nothing says classic like a nice blue job.
But for convenience and ease i do park on most my aks,although when I build my Polish fixed stock I'm going to blue it.

For the most part both are durable and easy to mantain
I've done both on the same kind of weapons and as far as wear I realy see no difference.
Its realy a matter of look your trying to get.
But the good thing about parking is you can apply another coat of would you say protection,by shooting on some gunkote or whatever to make the finish almost indestructable.
You realy cant do that with bluing-theres realy nothing for the other coat to "bite" into,unless you scuff it up-but then your ruining the apeal of the bluing.

If you ever want give me a pm somtime
I can allways give you some tips
