what would you need to finish it?

In order to complete that kit, you need:
receiver
rivet set
center support (if the receiver does not include it)
fire control group
fire control retainer plate

This is a better deal:

It's Hungarian, not Polish though if you were specifically looking for a Polish gun.

You will also need to get the kit that is already head spaced. Otherwise that is something else you will need to do.

Also check APEX gun parts, arms of america, what a country, and akbuilder there is better deals.

Not a bad deal; not a great deal. Kits without barrels run $325-350, nitrided barrels can be had for around a Benjamin. Assuming they press the barrel components straight, and headspace properly, that saves you around $100 in labor to have a gunsmith do it (or about double that in tools to DIY).

Like AR15 Barrels said, you'll still need either a 100% receiver ($100 + FFL fees) or an 80% ($40, plus rails and center support), rivet kit ($10), FCG ($25-30), and tools to finish.

If this is your first AK build, and you're not likely to build another, get the 100% receiver, like a NoDak Spud or Childer's. You'll still need a press of some sort for the rivets and barrel pin but no welding would be required.

Building an AK is not like assembling an AR. There is fabrication and fitting involved.

get a childer's 80% or 100% they're are manufactured in Poland and would be a cool addition to your polish kit

Ahh NO

Unless you like burning up drill bits and ruining reamers??

buy a NDS or buy a flat and a die

NDS = $120 plus shipping dros and tax so actually around $170

Ak builder die and flat $200

so you figure out what you want to do.

plus side to the die is you buy it once, Every AK after that just adds to the value you have in the tool.

And another plus is...no more fees paid to the very people that are trying to take away our 2A rights...I don't buy firearms in CA...I build.

NDS = rusty center support rivets
