nalioth 405 Posted December 13, 2007 Report Share Posted December 13, 2007 For us to give you an answer, we need to know which parts you're gonna use that are US in origin. Please keep in mind, that not all parts count toward compliance.

RDSWriter 5 Posted December 15, 2007 Report Share Posted December 15, 2007 If you're using U.S. FCG (3 parts) and U.S. furniture (3 parts) you should be fine. Also... you're making your own U.S. receiver as well. You'll have more than enough U.S. parts to get you imported parts count 10 or below. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The-collectorFL 0 Posted February 1, 2008 Report Share Posted February 1, 2008 For the gentlemen building the romy. first off, welcome to the addiction! ok I spend most of ny time on the ak files forum with same user name and we build ak's, its our thing. with that said I know for a fact that almost every non saiga vepr ak that is built with a kit uses a usa receiver. IT DOES NOT MATTER IF YOU ROLL YOUR OWN OR BUY FROM A RECEIVER DEALER THIS IS THE BREAKDOWN FOR BUILDING AN AWESOME AND BEAUTIFUL AK POLISH TANTAL,POLISH UF, AMD-65, AIMS, KRINK ECT HERES WHAT YOU NEED: YOUR PART KIT....IN YOUR CASE ROMY. i HAVE 5 OR 10 OF THESE PUT AWAY SOMEWHERE;) 1. PARTS KIT 2. USA BULT REC NO DAK SPUD DCI OOW EWBANKS ARMORY FIRING LINE USA ARMORY OR TAPCO AK-BUILDER.COM REC THE POINT IS MADE 3.FCG G2 ARMORY USA RED STAR ARMS (THE BEST) BASICALLY IT IS THE TRIGGER HAMMER AND DISCONNECTOR 4. USA MADE PG THEIR EVERYWHERE FOR UNDER 10 BUCKS 5. YOU WONT LIKE IT BUT YOU NEED TO REPLACE THE PISTON IN FACT THESE PARTS TRIGGER,DISCONNECTOR, HAMMER, PISTOL GRIP , BOLT CARRIER PISTON ARE WHAT EVERYONE USES. IF YOU GO TO AK FILES AND GO TO THE GUNSMITH SECTION AND STATE YOU DONT FEEL COMFORTABLE DOING IT YOURSELF THEY WILL DI IT FOR 20-30 DOLLARS LABOR. NOW YOU DO UNDERSTAND THE RECEIVER YOU BENT NEEDS TO BE HEAT TREATED? AK-BUILDER.COM HAS ALL THE JIGS AND TOOLS TO BUILD ROLL YOUR OWN OF ANY COUNTRY. ANY KIT THAT USES A STAMPED RECIEVER AND IS STILL AVAILABLE CAN BE BUILT AND MADE 922 COMPLIANT WITH ABOVE CHANGES. READ READ READ AND AS QUESTIONS, WE ARE A FRIENDLY BUNCH. HERE IS THE BAD NEWS....IT WOULD COST YOU ABOUT 500 IN GEAR TO DO A PROPER BUILD YOU MOM WOULD BE PROUD OF SO YOU MAY WANT TO HAVE SOMEBODY DO THE BUILD. THE GOING RATE IS 200 BUCKS HOPE THIS HELPED AND I HOPE YOU ROLL UP YA SLEEVES BUY 3 OR FOUR MORE KITS AND BUY COMMERCIAL RECEIVERS FOR THEM AND SPEND THE 500 FOR TOOLS...YOU WILL GET IT BACK ON THE SECOND BUILD AND AFTER THAT YOU CAN BUILD A 1500 DOLLAR BULGY KRINK FOR 700. A HUNGARIAN AMD OR AMMS FOR 500 BUT THE QUALITY OF THE BUILD AND FINISH PUTS CENTURY TO SHAME. IF ITS AN AK YOY CAN BUILD IT. OHIO RAPID FIRE IS SELLING NEW AK 74 SIDE FOLDERS RIGHT NOW FOR 350-400, AND YUGO KRINK M-92 KITS BRAND NEW AND I MEAN NEW WITH ALL COMPIANCE PARTS AND RECEIVER FOR 450 THEY EVEN THROW IN THE RIVITS. PRICEOUT A TRICK M-92 AND SEE IF IT IS CLOSE TO 450 TRY 1000 HOPE THIS HELPED AND GOOD LUCK, PM ANY TIME WITH ? BEST REGARDS DAVID Quote Link to post Share on other sites
