    One more AK and then I'll stop...

    A while back I got a little carried away buying Egyptian parts kits but how could I pass up one with an Arabic marked sight leaf. All of the Egyptian kits I've had were painted poorly so I try to reproduce that same finish and then I scuffed this one up a little for that battle worn look. You have to wonder what stories these rifles would tell if they could talk. You know how it goes, one more and I'll stop!

        Congrats Bob.

        * Edit. Hey man, let me know if you want me to "enhance" the markings again.

                  I guess I'm just a bolt/AR guy. I just can't get into the whole AK thing. Whats the going rate to build something like what you put together there these days?

                    I don't buy the "just one more" either. You've proven that you can kick bad habits when you lost all that weight. So, you don't have anything to prove and building AKs isn't really a "bad" habit now, is it?

                      Not this s**t again Bob. It seems every other month you say your gonna quit, and we all know your lying. Seriously, when you die we'll need to pack a couple of kits in your coffin just to keep you busy in the afterlife.

                        I've come to accept this as his theme much like the one I use. I'll be adding one to the stable soon too

                          You guys know me too well Thanks for the kind words from fellow builders. Bombadillo I think somebody crunched the numbers for an average build done at a build party and came up with about $600 including kit. flat, rivets, compliance parts, and build party contribution. I don't know anybody that builds them to save money, we do it for a lot of different reasons. For me it is very satisfying and relaxing. I also believe it promotes our Second Amendment by getting new people involved with firearms without asking government permission for our God given rights.
