AK build, am I ready?

[MrNiceGuy]

I finally finished demilling my Romy kit (after begging a buddy to press some pins out for me).

I took a pic of all the parts I have.

I know I went overboard on the 922(r) compliance parts but I just want to be extra safe.

I'm going to run MM grip w/ all black USA made furniture.

TAPCO trigger group is "double hook" (hope I got the right one).

NODAKSPUD NDS-3 100% receiver.

Do I have all the parts I need for the build?

At "howtobuildanaktyperifle.com", the guy use 2 3/32" E Clips to hold in the 2 Axis Pins.
Do I need the E clips for a 100% receiver?

All comment/suggestions welcome.

EDIT: I forgot to take a pic of the gas tube and I've decided to NOT use the TAPCO gas piston per the great advice of the Calgun community.

I'd trade that gas piston in for a trigger pin retaining plate but other than that it looks like you have everything. You might need a short bolt for the Monster man grip

[zebadoba]

Yep, you are good to go!

[wayoutwest]

9 US parts, guess you cant be to careful

Maybe I'm not seeing it, but do you have a rivet for the gas piston? IMO, I wouldn't replace it. I did it on my Yugo. While it wasn't a huge PITA, it was certainly unnecessary. Your bolt carrier looks like it has a nice original finish on it. I wouldn't screw it up by drilling out the rivet holding the piston in place.

Skip the gas piston.

[Peashooter]

Yep!

[billyjoblack]

I think i see 10 US parts??

[wayoutwest]

I think i see 10 US parts??

I think i see 10 US parts??

yup

Can't be too careful.

Skip the gas piston.
If you insist, make sure you have a new gas piston rivet in there somewhere.
I don't know if the NDS-3 is cut for single hook or double hook. I know that they have a thing on their site warning against using a single hook trigger because of malfunctions.


BTW, all black looks silly on an AK. Wood or plum is the way to go.
My humble opinion anyways.


You are ready son.

[ptoguy2002]

are you counting both the upper and lower handguard? they count as 1 part

9

I count:
brake
piston
handguard
grip
buttstock
trigger
hammer
disconnector
receiver

[MonsterMan]

Does the grip adapter count?

[MrNiceGuy]

Good call on the gas piston guys, I'm going to use the original gas piston since it looks practically brand new anyway (plus I don't feel like drilling out the pin).

Wheres your gas tube and grip screw?

Good catch on the gas tube, I had it with me but forgot to include it in the pic...:P
And the Monster Man grip screw is in the little plastic bag to the top left of the Monster Man grip (right below the trigger guard).

Regarding the 9 compliance parts, I like to have the option of switching back to original wood handguard and stock sometimes.
Since I'm NOT going to use the TAPCO gas piston, using the original wood handguard and stock will put me back down to 6 compliance parts.

Sorry guys i was counting both grips LOL.

If she was devout, she would not let you use condoms.
