@5687678 An engraving shop can put a number on for you, or you can buy a hammer stamping kit for $20- $50. Most states do not require a serial number so you should contact the state police and ask if you need one.
@ConcealedFirepower It is indeed NOT a firearm until bent. You can in theory serialize the receiver and sell the gun, though if you are caught making the guns for the specific purpose of selling you are now in the criminal realm.
@ferrypilot should be making a lower receiver out of stainless soon. the bending or pressing increases the strength at the corners. austenetic/ferretic Duplex. 25 cr / 6.0 ni / may be molybdenum 3% approximately. lol im a little high at moment
@starwarsman96 yeah thats what ive gathered from endless searching. I just didnt want to build something, then go get killed in a car wreck and by default leave my loved ones in possession of a now illegal firearm. Seems the occasional transfer is OK, and actually there was a bit on history channel about just this with a a guy that builds 80% receivers in Montana. Rather be safe than sorry you know?
@starwarsman96 You cannot sell a privately made firearm in the US. The BATFE says you can make your own guns from "scratch" (and they have rules on what that is too), but you can never sell, transfer, loan, or even will it to anyone else, not even your own family. They "reccomend" putting a serial number on it. It must be destroyed if you no longer want it, you die, etc. You *can* sell it if you get a *manufacturer's* license, which costs much more than an FFL, and has tougher requirements.
@Bread996 mikhal kalashnikov made his prototypes in a friggin barn dude. he'd have been happy to have this level of crap. lol. where there's a will there's a way, ya know?
Read the new article in american rifleman?Obama and hillary are working hard with the UN to get rid of all guns.The Un says that the survival of the state is more important than the survival of the individual.So brainiac these dont cost that much to build if you have access to a press.Your receiver will be unregistered.ALL gun sales paperwork is kept by the gov't,they are supposed to destroy it after 20yrs but I highly doubt they do it.If you want to keep a high performance weapon this is how.
@thephilchannel He is making a receiver from a flat piece of sheet metal that has been stamped. They are called flats, than you bend them into the receiver shape.
@davidgcalderone oh so it's done during the manufacturing process. I thought it was something one who wanted to "build" with a parts kit would have to do.
I wish you were my neighbor so I can borrow your jig hehehehe. I got a kit but no way to bend it. I have the hydraulic press too. DAM I'll meet a guy with a jig one day.
@abuklashinkov The receiver of an AK-47 or an AR-15 is considered "the gun", then you can attach the barrel, trigger parts, etc, etc and you end up with the finished rifle. If you buy a receiver, you have to register it and get a background check and purchase the receiver through an FFL (Federal Firearms License) holder. That costs a lot. But guess what? If you MAKE your own AK or AR, it's CA legal and you don't need that paperwork. Buying ALMOST finished receivers does not require paperwork.
@Vincerama you don't have to have background checks in all states. I guess in CA you would. Not all firearms enthusiasts have the time, skill, and especially the equipment to do something this involved either. though
You people are killing me. I'd take an AK over an AR in combat any day. The AR is a great target rifle but not so good a battle rifle. I'm a big fan of anything .308, cause people hide behind stuff.....
Agreed...kinda. At close ranges the AK-47 is excellent because of its large round and rate of fire. However its accuracy is nothing comparable to an AR-15.
However if someone blindly asked me to take one gun into combat. I'd take an AK-47 with a smile one my face.
@JohneyAmerica Yeah, the AR is a really good target rifle. I'd rather have an FAL or M-14 as I said I like .308. The AK is a great rifle that just keeps running.
@yipyipyipzipzipzip Original soviet AK-47s with the old school milled receivers are around $2000
Pagan warrior is right
A hydraulic press is essentially an inverted carjack mounted on a steel frame, you can make one using spare metal bars and vise grips
You dont even need to buy an expensive, forged jig, use the Grasshopper jig which costs $26
Most people I know dont like to boast about how they build machine guns. That gets you tracked and raided by the ATF, which makes me think you're trolling
I love people who argue about accuracy in combat. Shows how much "combat" theyve seen. The only guy that has the time to sit around and plot out a "one-shot-one-kill", is a sniper. Regular field grunts will tell you, 98% of combat takes place at 40-50yrds. Accuracy is not an argument at these ranges. Firepower is.
@yipyipyipzipzipzip See the problem is, you NEED all those shots. I only need one. And if I had an AR, it wouldn't be a fight, not even a contest. Spray and pray is amateur shit. It has a great place in plinking, or in squad support. Suppressive fire has a place in combat. True marksmen only need one shot. Call me old man all you want, makes me wiser. If you like it for plinking, fine. If for some odd reason urban combat, fine. Anything else AK=Poor conscript/no training.
@yipyipyipzipzipzip I'm sure your home built AK can pull under 1 MOA. AK=30 rounds of I hope I hit them. TC=1 round of got 'em, fight over. All the gun I need, keep building your clones. And you asked me if I was an airsofter, so YOU went off topic. So what's YOUR idea of big time? Some custom built gun? With proprietary parts? Or the AK, accuracy of a BB gun? FYI my TC is only one of several guns I own. It's just an example that I used.
@yipyipyipzipzipzip I've probably got more experience firing real weapons than you do. I also have better grammar. Why would I build a gun I can pick up for under $500? I don't build them, I buy them. Because I have a job. And money. And from the looks of the way your press works, you can probably modify a car jack to do the job. Either way, I'll buy my guns and get quality. You can build all the AK's you want, none of them are as good as my T/C.
@Paganwarrior2000 Because the only thing you're smart enough to do is pull a trigger?Building your own firearm is a great way to take pride in your craftsmanship and skill.
@888thewatcher The machinery alone costs more than what it would cost to produce one of these rifles. If I only want one, I'll just buy it. I'll show my craftsmanship on other things.
@TehRamenBrotherz Too many issues with ATF and other alphabet soup agencies. Not enough for me to get into. I'd be better off learning gunsmithing and doing custom builds off existing receivers for people I think.
Kasenit hardens the surface of the metal and does work just fine. Also if you build on a flat you will need to trim the top rails for the carrier. An AK is NOT an AR,. You build an AK, you assemble an AR. Oh the holes should use a water quench with lots of dish soap and salt added. You can use oil and that will carberize the surface but if you intend to Phosphate (Parkerize) the oil quench will fuck up the finish. The lower rails also need to be welded. And don't forget the swell neck rivets.
The press is cheap. I paid 120 for mine shipped. You can build on an NDS or other type receiver but you'll need a 4473 form. You will have great gun with minimal BS. What sucks about flat builds is theres fitting invloved. The front trunnion, the lower rails need to fit just right to have the bolt slide and lock up properly. You will need to heat treat the FCG axis pin holes and the ejector. You can heat to 1650f and quench to harden, then bring back up to 700-750f to annel. Or use Kasenit
unless you already have all the tools, its cheaper and easier to just buy a serialized ready to go receiver thats fully heat treated, not just the holes. heat treated involves heating the metal up, then cooling rapidly over and over strengthening the metal like with a torch and water bath. my advice is to drill your own trunion holes so they will match your particular trunion. be aware that even though you buy a ready to go receiver, you WILL still have to do minor final fitting and tweaking.
Do you honestly think people are doing this in caves in the desert? No. They're buying them or taking them from the battlefield or they're left overs from when the Americans outfitted the Taliban to fight the Russians way back when.
What does that have to do with the first comment? Technically your comment argues FOR and AK receiver because they just pick up a finished gun and go, no assembly required.
@wav3form: Americans and Brits supported the northern alliance, Pakistan Intelligence supported the Taliban during the soviet occupation. And yes, people are doing this and far more complex operations in "caves in the desert" (Afganistan is largely not a desert BTW, it is mostely chaparelle)
This isn't putting anything together, this is making a receiver. one of the parts to be used putting an AK together. Try building a reciever for an AR15, where would you start? What would it cost? This flat for the AK is around $20 on average.
Many people have built AR recievers, you buy a forging for about $50 and mill out the cavity and tap the buffer tube hole. The high dollar tap is the killer, Tapco used to sell FAL forgings also in the day, and lots of folks milled them out. No biggy, just simple machine work.
walter that by no feat is "simple" machine work. there is a lot more that goes into an AR-15 lower receiver. getting that big tap is the least of your worries. basically no joe blow can build an AR-15 lower receiver that will function properly. you must have the aptitude and knowledge of machining.
Well, I was able to finnish it up and it functions fine, other than buying the tap, had some trouble with mating to the upper from the forging but no biggy, My first attempt was to make it in two halves and bolt togather but looked stupid. All I have is an Old Bridgeport, and a bunch of Harbor Frieght tools. You just got to think it all out. I am buiding a 45-70 model 74 Gatling now, just from what I learned in High School Shop class in the 80s. Try it, its not that hard.
What the google picture of fuzzy pictures of 77 pices and how they fit accordingly? Yeah you can save that half assed picture if you want or you can pull your head out of your ass and find the real blueprints which are 77 pages. 12 of those pages include how to make the bucking bar the ruskies made so they can put the weapon together properly. ^_~> Epic fail for u.
LOL u mean those fuzzy outdated pictues on how all the parts fit togethert? LOL the actual blueprints have 34 or 50 pages. depending if it's the AKr or AKM

I have thought about buying flats and doing something similar but I am sure it would take me forever to have come up with the jig without seeing how he did it. Already got the shop press!
I know where I live you can file paperwork to build your own gun. In my town I would go to a building that is half city hall half county seat. You get the paperwork there and send it off to the BATF.
You have to put your name and address on the weapon's receiver.
That's only if you're building a Class 3 item (Short Barreled Rifle being the most common). No BATF (federal) paperwork is needed when building your own gun. State may be different.
It looks like those are machined hardened steel flats not something you would pick up from a local service center. Probably a tool and die maker can build those flats.
Youd have to cad all of the dimensions on all of the holes and compensate for the loss in height due to the radius on the bottom. Considering the rebuilt flats have the top radius already done for the bolt carrier and have the dimples already in them for the mag well I would say the preman flats you can get for 30 bucks are a BARGAIN!! They require no transfer to ship either.
I think im going to do this, its been so hard to buy a fully built receiver, and even though this is quite a bit more expensive, i think its worth it, especially if your building more than 1. jig is about $220, and then you will also have to harden the receiver holes and spot weld in the rails. but looks like fun.
do you need a license to buy these parts? when you order, do they part send to your home or dealer? cuzz i really want to build one. AK47 is my dream weapon
Technically this is an AKM reciever, since the original AK-47 recievers were milled out of steel castings. It was only with the M update in the 50s that they started making them out of stamped steel actually. But never mind, this is an interesting video and I never realised it was so simple to make one of these. Now the question is, how difficult is it to make an Armalite?
I do not build them but I have seen it done and know how to do so. It is a simple process I just dont have the time. That being said selling a home made gun would be a federal crime anyway because it is not serialized and you are not licenced to build and sell firearms by the government. ANY and all home built firearms are yours for life.
And there is no license or anything like that one could obtain? The reason I ask is because I have seen Romanian "G" kit rifles sold at gun shows, and as far as I know no company builds them.
You would need to get a title one firearms manufacturers licence. Pay the ATF yearly for this licence as well as pay a tax to the government for every rifle made. Serialize all your firearms and keep records. Have a place of business. Only be able to sell to distributors where they would send the rifles to shops. The only way you could do it is if you mass produced them and that takes having employees also.
Well, so much for that plan. But that still doesn't explain that G kit. What if you bought a US made receiver, aren't those already serialized since you have to fill out a 4437 to buy one? And how come selling a gun that you built is a crime, but building and keeping it for yourself isn't? Are there any restrictions to what you can build, assuming it's not full auto or suppressed etc?
Yes, there are rules, those rules not only vary by state, but there are numerous federal rules that cover AOW and SBR's. It's a quagmire.
Selling a gun you built is not a crime provided you didn't build it with the intent to sell. Sell one or two over the years and your fine... sell a bunch and you're gonna be in trouble if the ATF gets wind of it.
Do your homework if you want to build and stay legal. For instance, you can't build an AK with more than 10 imported "bad" parts. (Section 922r)
I thought you need 7 compliance parts, regardless of the amount of "bad" parts? and who the hell came up with 922r? Most "good" parts are direct copies of "bad" ones anyway.
But anyway, you're saying that it is possible to sell a parts kit gun provided you don't intend to sell it? How does the ATF determine what your intent is? Gun laws in this country are ridiculous.
No, it's the amount of bad parts that count. You can have no more than 10 imported parts, and actually most "good" parts are actually a little better than the original ones... Take a 2 stage trigger, new muzzle brake/flash hider, or furniture for mounting toys. Morons came up with 922(r) Fortunately they don't get it.
Sucks. My dad actually bought a Yugo SKS recently, and we're trying to figure out what modifications can be made without affecting it's C & R status, necessitating compliance parts. We have a UTG receiver cover with an integrated rail and a tapco detachable mag, I think the rail cover is OK but we'll have to stick with the origional 10 round fixed mag? Also, I have have a CAA ergo grip on my WASR, it's a US company but manufacturing is done in Israel, does it still count as a compliance part?
Wrong. If you sell a firearm that was a home build you committed a crime because you did not pay tax on the weapon to the government. Learn federal law before you get someone into trouble.
Well, cite me the statutes smart guy. Federal taxes for firearms would only be applicable for interstate commerce. As far as state law goes, you are liable for tax any time you sell property.
Correct me if I am wrong, but provide citations and documented facts.
the batf charges a transaction fee on all class 3 weapons look it up on their site. as for paying taxes on property every time it is sold..yes real estate maybe but not firearms sold through personal sales. once again go the the batf website and look it up
Considering the fact that unless you are an FFL07/SOT you can't even BUILD a class 3 weapon other than a SBR/AOW, it's a moot point. SBR's and AOW's have their own rules... but a regular rifle or pistol (depending on how you build your gun is not subject to tax.)
I could quote all day from that site, but the point is (and one that I should have acknowledged Lord666Belial for getting right) is that YOU need to know the law before you do try to sell or transfer any weapon.
first off i dont sell guns i buy or build guns second the law that you quoted was that you must pay a tax on all guns sold and that is false. if you want to argue the point at least stick to your own story. you dont pay a tax you pay a transfer fee on class 3 weapons.
People in a couple of weeks im going to make a video on how to build a ak pistol with a 10" barrel out of a amd65 parts kit with step by step instructions using tapco flats ,16" barrel, and unexpensive tools for the common man with a low budget. Plus maybe a ak with a full length 16" barrel.
People should not pay to much on the tools than the ak parts.
There's no "how-to" in this video. A "how-to" video has instructions. This video is "watch me as I silently make one with no explanations on how to make one yourself"
many things not shown, this isnt how you build one - this company sells this video online - PLEASE DO NOT PURCHASE IT because its a waste of your time and money, trust me, i speak from experience lol...
Cool.Now all you got to do is heat treat & temper.If you were to chrome or gold plate the receiver or a metal mag,would the alignments be off from warping???
Thanks good video you should not give me ideas

You build an AK, you assemble an AR. Oh the holes should use a water quench with lots of dish soap and salt added. You can use oil and that will carberize the surface but if you intend to Phosphate (Parkerize) the oil quench will fuck up the finish. The lower rails also need to be welded. And don't forget the swell neck rivets.

The press is cheap. I paid 120 for mine shipped. You can build on an NDS or other type receiver but you'll need a 4473 form. You will have great gun with minimal BS. What sucks about flat builds is theres fitting invloved. The front trunnion, the lower rails need to fit just right to have the bolt slide and lock up properly. You will need to heat treat the FCG axis pin holes and the ejector. You can heat to 1650f and quench to harden, then bring back up to 700-750f to annel. Or use Kasenit
SJgunguy24 1 year ago
unless you already have all the tools, its cheaper and easier to just buy a serialized ready to go receiver thats fully heat treated, not just the holes. heat treated involves heating the metal up, then cooling rapidly over and over strengthening the metal like with a torch and water bath. my advice is to drill your own trunion holes so they will match your particular trunion. be aware that even though you buy a ready to go receiver, you WILL still have to do minor final fitting and tweaking.

What does that have to do with the first comment? Technically your comment argues FOR and AK receiver because they just pick up a finished gun and go, no assembly required.

You're wrong. Milling or machining is going to always be more expensive then stampings.
esh325 2 years ago
This isn't putting anything together, this is making a receiver. one of the parts to be used putting an AK together. Try building a reciever for an AR15, where would you start? What would it cost? This flat for the AK is around $20 on average.
millergun 2 years ago
Many people have built AR recievers, you buy a forging for about $50 and mill out the cavity and tap the buffer tube hole. The high dollar tap is the killer, Tapco used to sell FAL forgings also in the day, and lots of folks milled them out. No biggy, just simple machine work.
walterbeech 2 years ago
walter that by no feat is "simple" machine work. there is a lot more that goes into an AR-15 lower receiver. getting that big tap is the least of your worries. basically no joe blow can build an AR-15 lower receiver that will function properly. you must have the aptitude and knowledge of machining.
spynonu 2 years ago
Well, I was able to finnish it up and it functions fine, other than buying the tap, had some trouble with mating to the upper from the forging but no biggy, My first attempt was to make it in two halves and bolt togather but looked stupid. All I have is an Old Bridgeport, and a bunch of Harbor Frieght tools. You just got to think it all out. I am buiding a 45-70 model 74 Gatling now, just from what I learned in High School Shop class in the 80s. Try it, its not that hard.

How do you register it if theres no numbers ..sorry I live in california ....
mojonm 2 years ago
I know where I live you can file paperwork to build your own gun. In my town I would go to a building that is half city hall half county seat. You get the paperwork there and send it off to the BATF.
You have to put your name and address on the weapon's receiver.
Or so I have been told.
zaces083 2 years ago
Makes sense
mojonm 2 years ago
That's only if you're building a Class 3 item (Short Barreled Rifle being the most common). No BATF (federal) paperwork is needed when building your own gun. State may be different.

It looks like those are machined hardened steel flats not something you would pick up from a local service center. Probably a tool and die maker can build those flats.
nandoGdog 2 years ago
Youd have to cad all of the dimensions on all of the holes and compensate for the loss in height due to the radius on the bottom. Considering the rebuilt flats have the top radius already done for the bolt carrier and have the dimples already in them for the mag well I would say the preman flats you can get for 30 bucks are a BARGAIN!! They require no transfer to ship either.
zaces083 2 years ago
I think im going to do this, its been so hard to buy a fully built receiver, and even though this is quite a bit more expensive, i think its worth it, especially if your building more than 1. jig is about $220, and then you will also have to harden the receiver holes and spot weld in the rails. but looks like fun.

Technically this is an AKM reciever, since the original AK-47 recievers were milled out of steel castings. It was only with the M update in the 50s that they started making them out of stamped steel actually. But never mind, this is an interesting video and I never realised it was so simple to make one of these. Now the question is, how difficult is it to make an Armalite?

Lord666Belial 3 years ago
cool. do you ever sell your kit builds? seems like a good way to make money.
Otacon237 3 years ago
I do not build them but I have seen it done and know how to do so. It is a simple process I just dont have the time. That being said selling a home made gun would be a federal crime anyway because it is not serialized and you are not licenced to build and sell firearms by the government. ANY and all home built firearms are yours for life.
Lord666Belial 3 years ago
And there is no license or anything like that one could obtain? The reason I ask is because I have seen Romanian "G" kit rifles sold at gun shows, and as far as I know no company builds them.
Otacon237 3 years ago
You would need to get a title one firearms manufacturers licence. Pay the ATF yearly for this licence as well as pay a tax to the government for every rifle made. Serialize all your firearms and keep records. Have a place of business. Only be able to sell to distributors where they would send the rifles to shops. The only way you could do it is if you mass produced them and that takes having employees also.
Lord666Belial 3 years ago
Well, so much for that plan. But that still doesn't explain that G kit. What if you bought a US made receiver, aren't those already serialized since you have to fill out a 4437 to buy one? And how come selling a gun that you built is a crime, but building and keeping it for yourself isn't? Are there any restrictions to what you can build, assuming it's not full auto or suppressed etc?
Otacon237 3 years ago
Yes, there are rules, those rules not only vary by state, but there are numerous federal rules that cover AOW and SBR's. It's a quagmire.
Selling a gun you built is not a crime provided you didn't build it with the intent to sell. Sell one or two over the years and your fine... sell a bunch and you're gonna be in trouble if the ATF gets wind of it.
Do your homework if you want to build and stay legal. For instance, you can't build an AK with more than 10 imported "bad" parts. (Section 922r)
mpeugeot 3 years ago
I thought you need 7 compliance parts, regardless of the amount of "bad" parts? and who the hell came up with 922r? Most "good" parts are direct copies of "bad" ones anyway.
But anyway, you're saying that it is possible to sell a parts kit gun provided you don't intend to sell it? How does the ATF determine what your intent is? Gun laws in this country are ridiculous.
Otacon237 3 years ago
No, it's the amount of bad parts that count. You can have no more than 10 imported parts, and actually most "good" parts are actually a little better than the original ones... Take a 2 stage trigger, new muzzle brake/flash hider, or furniture for mounting toys. Morons came up with 922(r) Fortunately they don't get it.
mpeugeot 3 years ago
Sucks. My dad actually bought a Yugo SKS recently, and we're trying to figure out what modifications can be made without affecting it's C & R status, necessitating compliance parts. We have a UTG receiver cover with an integrated rail and a tapco detachable mag, I think the rail cover is OK but we'll have to stick with the origional 10 round fixed mag? Also, I have have a CAA ergo grip on my WASR, it's a US company but manufacturing is done in Israel, does it still count as a compliance part?
Otacon237 3 years ago
Wrong. If you sell a firearm that was a home build you committed a crime because you did not pay tax on the weapon to the government. Learn federal law before you get someone into trouble.
Lord666Belial 3 years ago
Well, cite me the statutes smart guy. Federal taxes for firearms would only be applicable for interstate commerce. As far as state law goes, you are liable for tax any time you sell property.
Correct me if I am wrong, but provide citations and documented facts.
mpeugeot 3 years ago
the batf charges a transaction fee on all class 3 weapons look it up on their site. as for paying taxes on property every time it is sold..yes real estate maybe but not firearms sold through personal sales. once again go the the batf website and look it up
supercomet32 3 years ago
Considering the fact that unless you are an FFL07/SOT you can't even BUILD a class 3 weapon other than a SBR/AOW, it's a moot point. SBR's and AOW's have their own rules... but a regular rifle or pistol (depending on how you build your gun is not subject to tax.)
I could quote all day from that site, but the point is (and one that I should have acknowledged Lord666Belial for getting right) is that YOU need to know the law before you do try to sell or transfer any weapon.
mpeugeot 3 years ago
first off i dont sell guns i buy or build guns second the law that you quoted was that you must pay a tax on all guns sold and that is false. if you want to argue the point at least stick to your own story. you dont pay a tax you pay a transfer fee on class 3 weapons.
