Im not familiar with AKs. Is this going to be an SKS AK clone or is it actually an AK kit? It looks cool can't wait to see some finished pics

Don't you just love that ping sound when that pin finally lets loose? Thats a nice looking set of parts. Was it a choice set from somewhere? The last Polish I saw was ridden hard and put up wet.

What is the deal with these kits? Is it major work to get it back into working order? Does it require a bunch of special tools? Is the licensing of this any different than just buying an already made one? And for that matter, why was this one "cut up"?

Interesting. Thanks for the explanation. I am curious, if you make one as a homemade firearm, does that change legality as far as the Cook and Chicago "assault weapon" bans?

That the flat has the upper rails already bent will save you some time and hassle (particularly in terms of fitting).

I just noticed last night that the handguard/forearm I was intending to use are actually from Israel (CAA). If I want to use them I'll have to find another part to swap out.

I'm curious as to how your doing your rivets.
Press or modified bolt cutter method?

I'd use the original handguards ... see previous post.
