cpu77 0 Posted January 22, 2011 Report Share Posted January 22, 2011 I am in the market to build or buy a Krink. I would like a Tula or Bulgy side folder kit. I fould a guy selling new US barrels. I just need to find a kit and a receiver. I was thinking a Nodak receiver. Any others? My other option is to buy one built but my budget is only $1500. I will have someone build it for me. Like redjacket or EFI. Thanks Ralph 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
beefcakeb99 572 Posted January 22, 2011 Report Share Posted January 22, 2011 There is a new company you might want to check out, called 74 llc or something like that Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TX-Zen 287 Posted January 22, 2011 Report Share Posted January 22, 2011 Don't get a US barrel, get an East German or Bulgarian and have it reprofiled. Much safer route...the jury is still out on US made barrels because they all seem to be out of spec at around .218 instead of .213 or .214 NinerRider has a cut down East German 5.45 barrel with the regular 1 in 8 twist. There was concern the twist rate wasn't 1 in 6 and that accuracy might suffer but it hasn't, it seems to be more accurate by a tad than my Bulgarian 5.45 with 1 in 6 factory barrel.

cpu77 0 Posted January 24, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 24, 2011 I found a guy selling Krink barrels on gunbroker for $175. Sells Russian or Bulgy profile. Anyone know anything about them? Seen them listed on AR15 and AK forums as well. SAme guy. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Wade Pruetz 103 Posted January 25, 2011 Report Share Posted January 25, 2011 IMHO the American barrels are crap, I think that the guy selling the barrels "Bluejack" is having a hard time selling them because they are cut to the wrong bore size .218 instead of .213 -.214. If I were you I would have Loner42 aka Chuck cut down and reprofile an E.G or Bulgarian barrel, I did that as well as many others and have had really great results. It may be tight getting one built for $1500.00, I think parts alone for my build added up to $1150.00. Getting someone like Red Jacket or Mario to build it for $350.00 ain't going to happen, those guys will run at least $500-$700. Here are pics of mine I built myself. First three shots out of the E.G. Barrel at 35yds Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Z Glad you were there as my witness, had I not shot that group myself I would call bullshit on anyone claiming that tight of a group with an 8" barrel. Now the real test is if I could do it again. Let's say we know the gun is capable, the shooter as always is the questionable part. Good luck at the class and don't freeze your ass off. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

cpu77 0 Posted January 29, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 29, 2011 Thanks for all the help. I send a email of for the receiver. I found a new unissued East German AK74 barrel for $125. How much does it cost to have turned down? I already bought the last nodak spud receiver that was in stock. I would really rather have on of these though with custom serial numbers and pre SBR'd. It would be nice to do a form 3 transfer as I am a SOT. I am starting to buy the parts. However if the right rifle came along I would buy it. I see a few but when you are gonna spend upwards of $1800 you want things a certain way. Thanks Ralph Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks Ralph One of the front trunnion holes is off 16th with my 86 Tula kit and the nodak receiver. not a big deal but for the price of the kit along I will prefer the 47U LLC. The NFA engraving he put on it is your info to do a Form 1 not to transfer it on a form 3. not sure what the cost to cut the barrel down is I know it was a good deal. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Wade Pruetz 103 Posted January 30, 2011 Report Share Posted January 30, 2011 The wait on these receivers is at least three months, they are a good deal and I prefer to drill the trunnion holes myself but I hate waiting for three months. I know several people who have emailed him lately with no response. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Chuck has different prices depending on what you want done but he will turn and profile the barrel for $75.00 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
cpu77 0 Posted January 31, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 31, 2011 Thanks for the info you guys have made this much easier for me. Is it a big deal if I were to build a kit on a NDS receiver with the pistol grip reinforcement? I think I may buy 2 kits:) This way I can have one while I wait on the other receivers to become available. Then I can sell the one with the plate:) I am asking if buyers will care? E.G.

cpu77 0 Posted February 9, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 9, 2011 Well I bought the barrel spoke to the machinist. So I have this nodak spud rcvr. I either would like to get russian selector markings on this one or wait for the above Rcvr to become available. Who does these markings if I decide on that? I need to find a builder... Recommendations. I want a great job done. Thanks Ralph Quote Link to post Share on other sites
