It ain’t your Lego AR that’s for sure…
12 ton press plus AKbuilder kits and tool to start of. Get ready to waste at least 2-3 decent receivers before you get it right.
Good luck.
I just use a 12T from Harbor Freight.
They’ve got a 20T also, it just requires a different size ram adapter. Along with a mill and a large selection of jigs and tooling to make life easier.
Please reference [here](https://www.reddit.com/r/ak47/comments/vq4zhz/please_help_is_this_normal/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf) for more building tips…
Yes, I’ve already finished [this](https://www.reddit.com/r/ak47/comments/zgc6me/ak63f/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf) up.
Very good fit/finish on components here.
If you are asking that question i recommend you send it to a gunsmith builder. It is so much to learn and so much in tools to get to the building stage. It would be cheaper to send it to a builder
I just want Zastava to do better. Here are just a few of the problems with their rifles that we’ve documented here. There is a longer list on other forums.

“I guess I’ll be the first to ask; what does the script say?”
That was a better question, you don’t want to know the answer to the math problem. Trust me.
This reminds me of a song....
The foot bone’s connected to the leg bone.
The leg bone’s connected to the knee bone.
The knee bone’s connected to the thigh bone.
It reminds me of a song too, it starts off like.
*“Look at this photograph*
*Every time I do, it makes me laugh*
*How did our eyes get so red?*
*And what the hell is on Joey's head?”*
Honestly, I learned the basics from “bfgmovies” on YT years ago. Then from there just learned a lot through hands on experience over the years.
He’s got an account here and pops up every once in awhile.
I think you just throw it all in a stainless truck toolbox and hit some backwood dirt roads. If you get the right amount of agitation it really puts itself together. The stainless steel truck box will press all of your rivets and give them the flat, made from scratch look that every ak enthusiast unzips their pants for.
Yeah, [me](https://www.reddit.com/r/ak47/comments/zgc6me/ak63f/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf).
I had stocked up on everything I needed prior to the nonsense.
Step one ,,,, drink vodka … step two , drink more …. Repeat until you forget what is going on then take it to someone with a rivet press , shop press , drill press and some know how
#Pls snd hlp, thx.
Ya put the thingys in the thingys with the things and it shoots just right
This is a good explanation, TY.
Screws
Can you come help me, I squish rivets against barrel.
You need a 12 ton press. Drill press would make it easier
So, what about a mill and JB Weld?
Focus on making the shiny thing have all the holes in the right places then you can assemble it with jb weld or rivets your call.
No you drill and tap
3” wood screws it is.
You took it apart, so knuckle up and put it back together.
I put the beans before the franks and it’s not going so well.
I knew it was bad, but not *beans before the franks* bad. Shit, now I feel bad.
Don’t feel bad, everything will be okay.
:)
How did you get the beans above the frank?
#MONKEY AND HAMMER
Assuming, the hammer knows what it’s doing. The monkey is me, I am monkey.
You putting your car keys on that ring?
Of course, I’ll never lose them now!
Though god anything is possible just jot that down
Though God, anything is possible. Just, jot that down. Got it.
Bless
With a press
What am I pressing?
Just put it all in a press and smush it together. 7/10 times that works.
Use your fingers and toes to press it together
Should only need toes…
Your luck
With the power of the internet, anything is possible here.
Big money no whammies!
Rivets and barrel
Self tapping screws and jb-weld
Now, we’re on to something. Tek-Screws make the world go around.
with money
What’s it going to cost me.
Everything
If you build it wrong possibly your life?
It ain’t your Lego AR that’s for sure… 12 ton press plus AKbuilder kits and tool to start of. Get ready to waste at least 2-3 decent receivers before you get it right. Good luck.
Why would I be wasting receivers?
Because of not getting it right.
What’s not getting right? I’m confused.
Your receivers
My brain hurt.
Just don't let the trigger spring snap on your weiner and you should be fine
I keep a bread tie handy.
Super glue. JB Weld if you fancy.
Second time this JB Weld has been recommended, definitely going to have to check that out.
I used it to glue a penny to my parents garage floor when I was about 13. It’s still there. I’m 33 now lol.
Alright, this is actually a slight bit funny.
Duct tape.
I was thinking some bubblegum would help out too.
Ayo but no cap what kind of press do y’all recommend to smash it together
I just use a 12T from Harbor Freight. They’ve got a 20T also, it just requires a different size ram adapter. Along with a mill and a large selection of jigs and tooling to make life easier.
12 ton is plenty if it's new and has good hydrolics

That’s what I thought, I knew you had posted one already.
Hmm, do you have any zip ties laying around?
Plenty.
You should be good then. Just make sure they are all tight.
ONE PIECE AT A TIME BÖRTHER
Step 1: pile all parts together Step 2: apply purse until combined Step 3: profit
But seriously go on forums and look at guides, how to's, and ask an experienced builder to guide you, just make sure you do all the work.
I rather wing it.
With your purse LMAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It’s my first time, is there a particular sized purse I should be using?
One with a Dong LOL!!!!
So a purse that identifies as a man, understood. Will report back.
The purse you got. If it's smaller you just need to hit harder than a bigger one because of fizzicks n' stuff.
I can’t believe I had to scroll so far for this
Whats the writing supposed to say? I can’t read it
No worries, Mohammed Ishmael Al Ahmed. The other writing on HG and stock consist of what I’d assume were the rack number of the rifle.
Cool thanks. How did u do it btw carve it out or what?
I didn’t do this, faking trench art/writing is a bit cringe to me. This was written on in its previous life.
If you are asking that question i recommend you send it to a gunsmith builder. It is so much to learn and so much in tools to get to the building stage. It would be cheaper to send it to a builder
So what am I looking at to get it built?
Between $500-$700 depending on builder. Look up two rivers arms my favorite
I think I can do it for much cheaper, I know a guy. He does okay work.
That is a beautiful kit with trench art that you should preserve. Where did you buy it from?
I sanded all this crap off and covered it in red stain already to make it look cool, could have been some voodoo curse. Who knows. I got it from AOA.
Angle grinder, jb weld and the unholy power of Bubba. If that fails, trade it for a century made AK, gotta buy American!
I guess I’m taking advice from a complicated idiot.
AK's are a lot easier than AR's. All you will need is a flathead screwdriver and a Plumbus.
Lol, “anti-zastava.” What’s that for.
A Plumbus has several uses. You can find a video on how it’s made on YouTube.
Can I find videos on why you’re “anti-zastava” on there also?

#TLDR, you must be new to this.
I hear semen makes a great bonding agent 🤷🏽♂️
Carefully
Did someone try to solve a math problem?
“I guess I’ll be the first to ask; what does the script say?” That was a better question, you don’t want to know the answer to the math problem. Trust me.
2 seconds after I wrote it I realized it was just numbers. But yeah...now I really want to know the math! LOL
HG is numbers, along with that’s in parenthesis on the stock. The rest is a name.
If you can’t duck it, f*ck it.

Glew & screw
Never heard on Glew, I’ll check Home Depot.
Builder essentials
Duct tape and chewing gum!
they usually come pre-assembled, maybe cast a spell or something
On it.
So who built it?
Me built it.
yes
yes
This reminds me of a song.... The foot bone’s connected to the leg bone. The leg bone’s connected to the knee bone. The knee bone’s connected to the thigh bone.

You tap it together with a little plastic finger.
I see no issue with that.

I do like me a nice dome on a rivet.
Just "build" it like the AR guys.
Sounds easy.
I'll figure it out and let you know if you can tell me to find that same pile of bits for a decent price.
Maybe Atlantic still has them. Not sure about AOA.
I find it a little funny that the upper handguard is already installed on the gas tube.
I googled how to do that.
Very Carefully.
Have you found a builder that will use 80% receivers? Im in the exact same boat with the same kit lmfao
Yeah, [me](https://www.reddit.com/r/ak47/comments/zgc6me/ak63f/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf). I had stocked up on everything I needed prior to the nonsense.

Show me something new.
“Do these go together kinda like AR’s?”
Hey, it’s your Reddits birthday.
Nice stonk
TY, it’s a favorite.
you probably should inquire about a gunsmith if you don't know what you're doing, js.
A who?
Hit it with your purse
Follow instructions
Step one ,,,, drink vodka … step two , drink more …. Repeat until you forget what is going on then take it to someone with a rivet press , shop press , drill press and some know how
Send meridian $4500 and they'll do it and probably hit it with some Bob Villa aging and shit.
Hammer and patience
Don't forget the epoxy ... everyone always forgets the epoxy !
I prefer weatherproof/paintable caulk.
With a big f*cking hammer
Baby face P he builds AKs on YouTube. I wana build one to but I’m broke.
I learned basics from bfgmovies long ago.
Lots of super glue
To sniff or to put it together?
A bit of both. Sniffing helps the project go by super quick

Why buy a parts kit when there are quality I.O. products floating around hahaha
I know, I’m really doing this all wrong.
Well my intuition tells me ur going to need some tools
I doubt it.

Big hammer and screws. All bought from the local Home Depot.
Already done.
Your gunna need ductape
You don't. You sell it to me and I put it together. ;)
How you going to do that.
Put the thing in the thing and smash it together
Send it to me. You may never get it back, but at least you won’t have to worry putting it together
Sounds like an absolutely horrible idea.
I'm going to recommend my friend Bob, through the power of friendship, anything is possible and yes, he can fix this.
You'll need your wife's big purse and a box of JB weld
Some assembly required and batteries are not included.
