are you going to do a proper build with rivets ?? or screws??
Its best to rivet ,, you will need a press to remove the barrel pin and barrel from the trunion
A set of bolt cutters can be modified to squeze the rivets .. again if you are lost as to what im talking about .. go to some of the dedicated AK sites on the web.. that have real good build it your self forums there.. read and study them.. I cant give you all the details here ...
I have built several kits.. the Romanian pictured i built in 8 hours on a saturday and was able to test fire it sunday.. just take your time and in the end you will have a rifle you built your self
and the smile on your face you wont forget..
Keep in mind on a AK kit you will also have to comply with the US made parts requirement
6 parts need to be made in the US .. on a Rommy you will need a reciever(1), trigger set(3),
gas piston(1) ,muzzle break(1) .... for a total of 6 parts to be legal..
