Has anyone here on FR ever built a AK from a kit? I was looking at possible adding another AK74 but the prices have gone through the roof. Then I ran across this kit and I was wondering how hard would it be to build?

I've looked at these "kits" at gun shows. Ugly, damaged furniture. Rust spots. Over all opinion? Junk. Years ago I bought an assembled AK-74 from the hammer monkeys at Century Arms. I replaced the furniture and put ACE stock on. Redid the "guts." Now a quality firearm.
By the time you replace/repair the kit, you'll have almost as much $$ in it as you would purchasing an assembled firearm.
I looked at them 5 minutes ago and they are $399.99. Item# POL-TANTAL-AK. Check again. They are about 2/3 the down the semi auto page. Sorry to badmouth your Bulgarian. LOL! We have the Polish. Its sweet. Deadly accurate out to 200 yards.
