Ok guys here is what I would like to know. I am interested in building an AK 47or as they are refered to now as an AKM.I have read so much on the AK 47 that I actually thought I had a direction that I wanted to go with building one, but then read some more and who knows now.
1. Since all AK's are now Variants does it really matter who's parts you use. I was foolish and wanted to get a Russian Kit yeah good luck with that.
2. Do I just buy aftermarket parts and put one together and it will be a Sembilan9 AK 47 Variant .
3. I then wanted to find as many Russian parts as I could to build my AK since I hear no matter what the Russian AK's were the most reliable AK's ever built.
4. Recievers, wow this is its own topic. Do you go with a standard 1.0 thickness or the 1.6. I hear the 1.0 are weak and not worth anything but yet most militaries were supplied with an AK with a 1.0 thickness reciever and they seem to be doing fine. The 1.6 thickness seem to crack and have issues with parts since the majority of parts are suppose to be fitted to a reciever with a 1.0 thickness.
I am sorry if this seems like I am rambling but these are all the things I keep hearing multiple opinions on, and im sure its just like anything else everyone is gonna have their opinion or experience with something that has them believe the way they do. Just looking for any advice you may have thanks. :banghead:
