To denver? Does apex have an actual store? Or just online?

Flats... I would try here: http://ak-builder.com

Kits, either at AK builder or Apex: https://www.apexgunparts.com

Give Apex a call. I don't believe they run a regular store but may make an exception for a pick up. Always pays to call.

I've been using ak builder, just got a flat in today and messed it up. Trying not to have to wait a week for a new one. Was hoping someone might have had them at a local store.

Gave up and just ordered from ak builder. Hope its the last time for this build.

How did you mess the flat up?
I have repaired a few that I have boogered up instead of shelling out and getting another.

My guide pieces, using the grasshopper jig, weren't straight and when I put it in the press it caved in. Tried to straighten it out and didn't work, then noticed the bend wasn't even. So tried to make it a flat again amd ended up flattening out the top rails and just gave up from there.

I'm not going to use the press amd use the screw method to pull it through like the last one I bent. That one actually almost made it to be a complete ak until I failed to think out the way I was pressing on the rear sight and caved the entire reciever over.

Live and learn, hope this one is the last for the build.
