[...] Update on the AK build (you can see the series here): I had mentioned before that one of the laser cut flats wasn’t cut all the way which meant it couldn’t be bent properly. We got this laser cut flat from AR15plus.com. We sent them a picture of the flat and they sent us a replacement. Pretty good customer service, I thought, and worthy of a plug here. So, if you’re pondering rolling your own AK, AR, 10/22 or 1911, check out AR15plus.com. [...]

Carnival of Cordite #38

Welcome to our special Veterans Day issue of the Carnival of Cordite. Back in the day, right before I put on that first uniform, I raised my right hand and swore the Oath of Enlistment. I swore to support and

CT,

The buddy that’s helping me do the build is getting the receiver. His family owns a gun shop.

[...] See part 1 here. All you folks are apparently too lazy to Google. Questions have arisen about compliance [18 USC 922(r)] parts for the AK. Here’s a list, taken from AR15.com: The 16 countable parts of an AK rifle. No more than 10 of these parts may be imported. [...]

For casual readers, you should provide the list of parts to which the maximum of 10 imported parts applies.

Jay – Where are you buring the reciever from? Tapco?

What is the full citation to the law? 18 USC 922?

Wussy. The law is only 10 parts can be imported, IIRC.

Unc,

That’s that 922 statute, right? IIRC, there has to be a minimum of 5 US-made parts, right?

I’ll be certain to follow that; I have no desire to be a guest in the ol’ greybar hotel…

I’m taking the wuss way out – buying a ready-made receiver. I’m not brave enough to bend-my-own…

Make certain you buy an appropriate number of American made parts. It’d suck to go to jail for violating some arbitrary federal law that dictates only so much of a gun can be imported.

Ours will likely be a combination of rivets and spot welding.

If you got the TAPCO flats, good luck bending them (or get someone who has done it before). We mangled one. Laser cut is the way to go.

Unc,

As you know, I am attempting the same build myself. I will OBVIOUSLY be following this series intently.

I got the EXACT same kit, BTW. Think I might get another one before the end of the year, too. That way, once I’ve escaped to America, I can build one with a folding stock, bayo, etc…

Quick question: Are you using rivets or screws?
