Quick question for the AK pistol builders....

[Hopi]

Will the Nodakspud NDS-3 'economy' receiver work well for general pistol builds?

Does using that receiver require a specific parts kit?


Thanks as always!

NDS

NDS receivers are RIFLE receivers. You only can build a pistol from a flat or a blank in CA.

If they are going to be built into single shot pistols out of state, the receivers will be logged as pistols with the FFL....

unless you are a manufacturer. OR a LEO.

So, are these good receivers to build a pistol?

It mainly depends on what trunnion you plan on using in the rear. NDS3 (NDS6 as pistol) will have trunnion holes in the back for a standard romy trunnion, which will work if you cut off the tang. For some reason our local legal eagles are saying that a standard trunnion that accepts a stock is a no-go on an AK, but an AR receiver that will accept a stock is fine.

So depending on what rear trunnion you plan on using, you may want to go with the NDS1 (no trunnion holes drilled).

Thanks!!! That is what I was looking for.....
