I need some AK help.

[rromeo]

This parts kit is advertised locally. I do not know AKs, so I'd like some advice before I buy.



Here is the text of the ad.

Bulgarian AK47 Rifle kit, Sell for $250 or will trade a Semi Auto Pistol , Lever Action or Semi Auto Rifle ,AR15 rifle kit or Semi Auto Shotgun.

I figure with a barrel, it's got to be worth $250 these days, but then again, I don't know. Anything you can tell me is appreciated.

[riddler408]

it is missing both front and rear trunnions, and trigger guard. Is it an original Bulgarian barrel?

[zfields]

Looks like its missing quite a few parts.

Picture appears to depict a threaded barrel. Former milled receiver AK variant?
As another noted, no trunnions. No trigger guard.

[rromeo]

The guy selling doesn't seem to know any more than I do. I've asked a few questions and he gives me dumbass responses.
Is that $250 worth of parts?

So it isn't my eyes, I thought I saw threads there.

Okay, now that was one of the things I was afraid of. I don't know the threaded barrel part exactly, but I know milled receivers have integral trunnions, and since they weren't in the photo, I didn't want to be trying to assemble a milled kit with a bent flat.

It depends.

This is for a milled receiver. Which would explain why there are no front and rear trunnions. you either weld a cut receiver back together yourself or buy one 100% complete and have it sent to a ffl. I think they run a $200-$300(stamped run at $30), but don't quote me on that. if you want a complete kit minus barrel for a milled receiver go here. stamped kits cost more but the recievers can be completed in a garage(homebuild no ffl)

It's not worth $250 because the trunnions are missing. Where's Radford and how far away is it from Alexandria?
I have a Romanian AK kit that I was going to build a NDS rifle with it but haven't got around to it. If you are patient and willing to wait until Jan of next year, I can sell you the receiver and parts kit when I bring it back from CA during the Christmas break. I already built up a NDS receiver with a Romanian G kit and the unassembled kit is also a Romanian G. PM me if you are interested.

Are my eyes bad or is the barrel missing in those kits?

No barrel. Your eyes are fine. But $299 is cheap these days sad to say.

Bulgarian G? Are you sure it isn't a Romanian G?

[The Paper Pimp]

spend another $100 and get one of the Polish kits floating around, it'll have all the parts at least.

[MrPlink]

Its a cut up from the Fed awb days, hence the thumbhole stock, no bayo lug etc etc

depending on what the barrel is and its condition the asking price may not be THAT crazy
