Building AK-47 furnature for an 858.

You know what's funny, most people here prefer the VZ-58 over the AK but it seems we want it more to look like an AK, including me.
 
But why? The 858 lever is more ergonomical.?

Pretty much the only reason I can say I am doing any of this is, apart from the sales, that it lets you own somthing that is essentially a prohibited firearm without actually going above somthing that is restricted or non restricted.

Essentially, it allows you to own somthing unique that you can call your own.
 
looking awesome , when can we start ordering ?

I just got off the phone with a dealer in the states that has bearings I need for my duplicator. They should be here within a few days, then I will need to fully assemble the duplicator.

Once that is done, I will do a trial run of probably 10-20 stocks to make sure all goes well with the construction. That run will probably be ready in a few weeks, and once that is done, then I will start full scale production making any changes requested by the first set of buyers.

If all goes well, I hope to be in a steady run within two monthes.
 
Kevin, I havent read through the entire thread but just wondering ---- would you be making any Romanian style handguards? :D

I am thinking of making a few for those interested. Price will likely be about $20-30 higher then the regular part, as I will need to make some modifications to the duplicator original. I know Deckard is interested in one, so I will put you on that list as well.
 
Thanks! thats the one!

My current problem is that it still takes a tremendous amount of time, shaping, and fitting to get the parts to a point where I feel the quality is at my standards. Given the fact that it took roughly two weeks to build one set from scratch, the duplicator was factored into the build timeline and price of the finished work.

Cheers.

I may be able to offer a dealer rate, but we can discuss such things over pm's.

I intend to sell them stained andready to go on the firearm, but I can alwAys take custom orders when the time comes.



My current problem is that the duplicator will only "rough out" the parts. There is still a tremendous amount of sanding, tooling, and fitting need once the blank is roughed out to a useable stage.

Why not sell them in the "rough" at DIY prices where the end user can finish them as required.

This way you broaden your market to those who may have the skills and time but not the cash (everyone needs a winter project).

Bet me too it sir. I am not one of those people, but other companies seem to do it, so it must work out OK.

Would knock a heck of a lot off the price for anybody with a few hours and a bit of skill at their disposal, thats for sure.

Not a bad idea at all. I am now strongly considering this as option.

Cheers!
