I plan on building several Romanian Kits I just Recently Ordered Four Of Them From Centerfire Systems.

What All Parts Can Be Kept I had only planned on getting a new FCG And Gas Piston But Im Not Familar with the laws and how many parts have to be replaced

What are Most of you doing to be 922 Compliant?
\
When buying a bending jig whats to be considered the best? I have looked at dph and restar arms

Also What about the NO Hammer Top Rail Feature Worth the extra 50? Anyone had any exp. with them?


Im going to be ordering some Flats From Tapco As Well As the FCG And Possibly A Muzzle Break I would like to be able to retain the bayonet is this possible?

Any Info Or Advice would be greatly aprecaited.

Look at the other threads in here and you will find the answers to all the questions you asked.


As for jigs, I like teh DPH jigs and they go not include the "no hammer top rail" but I have used the press bent top rail jig from AK-builder and I was nit impressed. I had better liiking bends using a hammer then I was seing using that jig to do the top rails.

The trick with using a hammer is using a smooth steel buck or a hammer that isn't marked up and slow and even blows with the hammer to work the top ral over. Remember that most of the metal of thse top rails get cut or filed off anyways so even a few little dents and nicks will not matter.

There is a lot of old posts and threads in here and building an AK is a lot of fun.

Here are some of the threads that will help you get started:
