Thanks again for the reply. I was planning on the 5.54 to make an AK74 type rifle with modern furniture (I know it's not a 5.56 AR15 round). My reasons for choosing the 5.54 from what I read are that first it has very little recoil, it weighs about half as much as a 7.62 and it's dirt cheap, which means I can practice shooting a lot more. PS: I don't mind cleaning after shooting. I guess I'll plan on saving the FSB/muzzle brake/barrel threading for another day like you said. I was kind of hoping to bang out everything in a weekend on these two rifles, but alas there will always be m

Thanks for the reply! I am planning on converting two 5.54mm saiga rifles to be similar to an AK74 setup with the Tapco Intrafuse system furniture. It may look or sound cheesy, but my wife and I are planning on taking some tactical rifle and carbine courses (front sight, maybe magpul dynamics, etc) and I think this setup should be helpful since most of those schools are running AR15 variants.

I've watched the tutorial vids and read the detailed tutorials enough that I think I can handle to the pistol grip conversion, barrel threading, and the bullet guide addition.

Can anyone point me in the right direction? Also, I just saw another noob post a topic to make sure he had all the parts he needed, so I hope everyone doesn't go bat shit crazy on me for asking a similar question.
