Re: AK Build Parties?
Parties ended pretty much when the $50 parts kits went up to $350 and higher. All you really need is a shop press from Harbor Freight.

I remember when AKs were $70. No kit, a complete AK.Tomahawk wrote:Wow. These kits used to be $50? Man. I just paid $300 for mine for a common Bulgarian AK-74 with no receiver or barrel.
There are criminals among us who are both homicidal and incorrigible. Their parents took a shot at civilizing them and failed. Their school teachers took a shot at them and failed. The odds are overwhelming that government welfare programs and penal institutions took a shot at them and failed. If it ever becomes your turn to take a shot at them, don’t fail.

Re: AK Build Parties?
Was across the street by Carters Taxidermy. Was no more of a gun shop than a flexible market back then. Also paid $199 for my American Arms Calcio M100 rifle same year.WLJ wrote:What was the place like then?

Re: AK Build Parties?
I always need something physically stimulating like refinishing trunk or building something. Its better to me than watching tv, atleast I accomplish something. Tv does have its place though.Dave1965 wrote:I have a kit I bought a long time ago, need to get it built up I guess but its just a WASR.
I am about 90% done with my blackpowder traditions pistol kit so I figured why not build an ak? Same thing as a traditions kit right??? Jk kn that last part

yep I know that but this subject has been brought up here before. You might have better luck asking on a different forum. I don't think they are done here.Tomahawk wrote:Ahh. I remember the aeries deal.

Re: AK Build Parties?
So would it still considered a build party if a few wives made a play date for their husbands, and it so happens that a few of the guys bring their own entertainment, like kids bringing blocks or Legos.

It's casual encounters. It's where you can get a great deal on a coffee table and a handi at the same time.

Re: AK Build Parties?
No handjobs. Now that is funny, I mention a coffee table because that was the first thing I thought of, and you have one for sale. Craigslist is nutty
