If you have a few to build, I would consider buying tooling and doing it yourself. Its a great feeling when you go thump thump thump the first time and know you built it. Would recommend doing the 1st build on the least valuable kit as you will make a mistake or want to do something a little different on the next build. Another choice would be looking to go to a AK Building class put on by a respected AK builder. They supply the tooling and you get to build under supervision. Any way you go AK's are the only way to go commie!!
