I dropped all my parts off to Troy Sellars today. It was the first time I'd ever met him but he was super nice.
Following parts
Windham weaponry 16" black nitride barrel us made 4150-because maga
AMT Us made forged front trunnion-because maga
Childers cg3 us made receiver-because maga
Meridian defense bd2 ak brake us made-because maga
Meridian defense m4 forged rear trunnion us made-because maga
Krebs custom rear peep
Polenar Tactical fiber optic front sight-Made and shipped from Slovenia
RS Regulate ak301m
RS regulate AKML
Holosun 503gu-fde
Virgin cugir MD63 parts kit
CNC warrior gas piston-because maga
Red star arms adjustable trigger us made-because maga
ALG hammer spring-because maga
ALG recoil spring-because maga
Forged surplus bolt and carrier
Magpul ak+ grip-because maga
Magpul ctr stock with limbsaver buttpad-because maga
Magpul handguard-because maga
Spikes tactical buffer tube-because maga
BCM qd end plate-because maga
DPMS castle nut
SOE gear coyote single point sling-because maga
Master mount ak safety
In case anyone is curious if I use magpul gen m3 ak mags or any other us made ak mags the us parts count is 15. If i use my circle ten mags or any other foreign mags with us follower and floor plates the parts count is 13.
Troy said it'd be 6-8 weeks on the build. Although he did state that he was building more akm's in 3-4 weeks and would go ahead and do mine at that time so it may be less than 6-8 weeks.
I will post pics once it comes in.
The only reason I went with the forged romanian bolt and bolt carrier is because the only other us made forged bolt and forged bolt carriers are from PSA and they are junk.
I bought this part kit and sold off the parts I didn't want to use and made some of my money back on it.

Well that sounds real interesting, looking forward to the end results! (as I live my AK dreams vicariously through you folks south of the 49th lol).
The US parts count doesn't matter a whit since it is not being imported.

When Obama was elected the US took a decidedly turn down.
Hopefully within a couple years there will be a KAG version to continue the trend. thumb1

Only thing is after nearly 300 rounds through it is bump firing.
It's bump firing with a solid mount stock and a firm trigger grip and follow through? ??? :o
would talk to the builder. something not right.

Yeah I know how to shoot an ak. Been shooting them for years. I reckon the set screws on the red star arms trigger were not loctited by dude that built it.

I have he didn't loctite the set screws on the adjustable trigger. He's gonna fix it the first weekend I have off and can drive the 200 miles to have him fix it.
Perhaps he left the screws that way so you could adjust it yourself. That would be the entire point of having an adjustable trigger, wouldn't it?

Okay, I didn’t know that. When troubleshooting, start with the most basic and inexpensive solutions thumb1
I have the same trigger in my PSL... straight from the instructions, it says.........

I have successfully installed and adjusted my trigger. My gun is now double tapping, or the hammer is following the bolt on live fire,
what should I do?
When adjusting the disconnector adjustment screw, it is important to allow for sufficient engagement of the hammer. Adjusting
so that the hammer will not be engaged by the disconnector will NOT result in full auto fire. Rather, it will result in a dangerous condition where the
hammer follows the bolt and occasionally sets off a second round. Most commonly hammer follow will only dimple the primer and force you to
recharge the bolt. Proper disconnector engagement of the hammer is critical for proper function of your trigger group.

It's not a seriously over complicated thing to fix, unless one just likes to drive that far. When you get it where you want it set to, stake the screws.

No I told him to adjust it to 4.5 pounds single stage and then loctite the screws.

Is it true that MAGA really stands for Make Alexandria Go Away?

I prefer MABA... Make Alexandria Bartend Again. :P
The dude readjusted the trigger and reloctited everything. It's worked flawlessly since.
Outstanding.
Good to hear.
