AK Build Class

[aturk]

Advanced Weapons Systems in Greenwood is doing an AK build class. I did not see it posted here yet.

Details are on their FB page (https://www.facebook.com/awsfirearms/)

Also pasted below:

For all those interested, our February build class will take place on February 11-12. We started with 5 open seats and we are now down to maybe 1 or 2 left.
The class is $1000. $500 of that must be paid 2 weeks prior to the class, and the rest is due at the end of the class. You must be able to pass a background check. We will provide the receiver, parts kit, and barrel. You are responsible for providing accessories and furniture.


This course covers drilling and pinning the barrel assembly, riveting, headspace, and final assembly. Your rifle will be "unfinished" or unpainted, and we will offer cerakote at a reduced price to participants interested.

Just go to the AK build class at USDS for cheap. Bring your own parts and have Ingo's best there to walk you through it.

I've never seen these guys before. I hope they'll come to the next build party. I'd love to talk with them about how they do their builds. Polish kits are very nice. If someone from INGO goes to the class, please report back with an AAR. You can never learn enough about AK building.

I really wish I had a kiln too

They currently have my Hungarian DDI rifle that has had several issues. Sent it back to DDI once, and now AWS has it. They've been pretty great to talk to, and have found/corrected a few issues I personally would have never caught.

So, you're paying $1,000 to build a $400 kit? Okay $450 with receiver, so $600 profit for them?

Sounds 'reasonable'

I agree "Roll your own" at USDS, unless you want to build one that bad.

This is on par or cheaper than other similar classes I've seen.

I hope for the money people are at least getting matching kits and a good quality receiver and barrel. Ideally at least an NDS receiver or similar, and a good quality barrel. I would hope for a real polish barrel, but I know that's not happening since they cost $170

I'm sure it would be a good time but with the price of kits/rifles i can think of other things id like more (cough cough Kalashnikov USA 9mm)
But then again if it was something cool like a East german akm, yugo m76, galil, ect... i might say otherwise still id like to see at least a trigger group and muzzle device included in the price. What's a G2 and slant break running these days cant be much?
