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.
The jigs are available online, as are the receiver flats. You'll need a complete parts kit, about $500 worth of tools, or really know what you're doing with basic tools, a means of precision shaping and heat treating. It can be done at home, but most people wind up with bubba monsters.

I'm shaping three receivers now, though my tooling is not so sophisticated. You can build the entire rifle, except the barrel, in a well-equipped garage. Add a lathe and a heat treating oven (Which I have) and you could build the entire thing. Kick ass.
@@getmeoutofsanfrancisco9917 yea even if it becomes illegal. That means my rights automatically get backed up by nature. And nature says guns are adaption.
Easy as pie. Get an ak flat off of ak builder.com, have a welder, angle grinder, awl and straight edge, score the corners with the awl, score the corners with the angle grinder, tap and bend crisp with the hammer, tack weld along each crisp corner. Can't get simpler than this.
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
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.
Impressive. I wish I could freakin build fully automatic weapons o.O. And that important part took u lil more than 5 minutes. But an AK is an AK. It takes a lot of love to get it done by hand. In afghanistan they make many guns by hand.. Sten gun, Ak, Lee Einfeld, PK machinegun (!!!), some handguns. And other self designed guns.
If you want the best of both worlds, buy an AR-18, or the civilian model AR-180. That gives you the 5.56x45 round in a carbine that uses toaster stamp technology, looser tolerances for better reliability, and a gas piston like the AK-47. The AR-18 is my favorite 5.56mm rifle.
AR 15 lower receiver - precision CNC milled, expensive chunk of aluminium, precision holes, precision every thing AK receiver - cut a few holes, and bend the bloody sheet of metal, puchase parts online, done
You can cast an ar out of pop cans and beer cans purchase parts online readily available.... you know how hard it is to find parts compatability and headspace an ak, If not than you don't know the struggles. I could assemble an ar for the most part blindfolded. The ak rifle is simple yet sophisticated at the same time, everything from metallurgy to dimpling and riveting.
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.
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.
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)
Muy instructivo, armemos en rifle de asalto en casa!!, eso si, que no nos agarre un conflicto belico a mitad camino porque no llegamos mas a este paso!!
@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.
You can't press them because AR receivers are not stamped steel, that's fairly obvious. If you know anyone with a 3D printer you can manufacture your own lower receiver with plastic. If has been done before.
Seth was correct, he said "ar-10" and not m16. AR-10 fires .308 and the m16 uses 223 rem.5.56. ak uses 7.62x39, more powerful than the 223 but not as powerful as the .308
I think you mean God bless Mikhail Kalashnikov. But yes, also God bless America, for being one of the few countries where stamping out your very own AK47 is legal.
the 7.62 round has more power, but it's heavier, and causes more recoil. Both rifles are good. But you can't look at just power. In real world situations, like dust, sand, dirt, mud, water, the AK 47 is going to shine for the unconventional Fighter. The M16 and all variants are these perfect machines for a perfect world, which we don't live in. Both rifles have a good standing point, but any gun is better than no gun at all
@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.
all that metal on metal pounting and pressure seems to rough the surface up pretty bad.. and pre-drilled trunion holes is a risk because they dont always match up with the trunion, best to dril after the trunions been fitted
no u cant press ar receivers but you can buy em 80% lower with no ffl and use a drill to drill out some holes......sounds easy which 8in turn is if you have the right tools but if ya got just a drill its gona take a few days and some patiences...its a pain....but unregistered and no ffl and LEGAL and CHEAP....but a pain in the ass
i know from experience when i say unless you already have the tools, its going to cost a lot more to build one than buy one, so its only worth it for those that build many, or those who already have the equipment
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.
how about the tools and bits to grind off and punch old rivets? sandblaster to properly prep the receiver? real gun finish? new rivets? rivet pressing jigs? headspace gauges? (unless you want to blow out an eyeball)
lol yeah.. my buddy gage said he raided what was supposed to be an illegal gun factory in iraq, says that all they had was some chunks of steel, hammers, some patterns, a few old AK barrels and gas parts, and a shit load of files, and drill bits, oh and a few hand drills... and these guys were pumping out AK-47 parts and guns like it was easy cake... im like... UH... HOW?
The things people forget is that all gun designs start out in a garage of some sort. If you cut away the counter engineering of the firearm (special grooves, curves, and profiling cuts which have no actual function), you will see all small arms are very simple devices. That said, a lot of guns in the middle east aren't truly from scratch. Some are, but lots of them are parts or incomplete/damaged weapons they get from battlefield pickups or sold by other countries. Real "from scratch" work can be seen in southern asia and South America, where there is very little official importation of firearm related goods.
This will be a semi-auto version, in compliance with US law. Building your own legal receiver means no paperwork, no excise tax, and money saved if you don't mind doing the work. Building a full auto would be illegal.
It's completely legal to build your own rifle, pistol or shotgun for personal use in the US. You can't engage in the business of making and selling them without a license.
@Storm469 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.
Very impressive, I must get myself a press, what do you use to cut the thick formers? that looks like 8mm steel, pain in the arse to cut with a grinder. oxy torch?
Not true. It is only illegal to sell it if the whole reason you built it was with the intention of selling it later on. If you build one for yourself and then later decide you don't want it or need the money, you can sell it.
+Christan J Doom a AR 180 receiver could be folded but sadly there are no sources of Mil Surplus AR 180 or even AR 18 parts to finish one if some machine shop is looking a market tool up to make the rest of the parts
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.
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.
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 thought about building one off a kit, and then doing a receiver like this but someone told me id need to get a headspace tool? Is that part hard to do? I know what its for but just curious of the difficulty involved in it.
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.
why would you buy the entire gun for over 400 dollars when you could build it for under 200? i found an unissued romanian re-build kit for 120 and my friend built all the tools himself for 10. after a couple mags, bullets and a sweet, brand new bayonet and frog, it came to about 175. cheapest fully assembled came to about 425.
First, the receiver for all rifles is metal. Second, the AK receiver is actually really light, the entire receiver is a stamped peice of metal. Further, you can substitute wood furniture for high-grade plastic.
That an arbor press would fit on a a bench, my middle school had a really nice sheet metal brake that looked and worked just like one. Has anyone done this with a bench top brake?
@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.
A well made AK74 will put down 3 moa compared to an M-4's 2 moa. There isn't much practical difference. AK iron sights suck though. I prefer a Kobra sight. I can hit paper plates at 150 yards off-hand with my WASR-10 AK with a Kobra.
Oddly, I've carried M16s, A1s, A2s, A3s, M4s, XM177s and a dozen civilian AR15s for 23 years. I've never had a reliability problem apart from a couple of mags with damaged lips (which were 20+ years old when issued to me). I guess it depends on whether the soldier is a 3rd world illiterate peasant or a professional...
@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
And then this happens /watch?v=oid33TqS1QI By the way, you need an entirely new bolt carrier if you want full auto, or it will fire out of battery (and when that happens - link above). It requires a small bump that trips the auto sear, and you can't just add it in unless you got mad welding skills and precision tools. Otherwise I wouldn't trust it to hold up.
"You can't make a gun and bypass government law, it's too expensive and percise!"
Said anyone who hasn't done a days worth of research or thought.
you can make ad possess any fuck'n thing you like and long as you don try to sell it with out the propper paperwork, from a political standpoint, if that don't sound like nazi germany i don't know what does, freedom is enforced if you cant out gun a fledgling tyrant freedom doesn't stand a chance.
The end is always the best. When you see the finished product. Nice work.
In Pakistan they do this with a hammer and a pair of pliers.
I did mine Pakistani style
They do, while sitting on the ground , or pile of dirt ,and sand. Stools ,and workbenches take up too much room I guess !!!

A well made AK74 will put down 3 moa compared to an M-4's 2 moa. There isn't much practical difference. AK iron sights suck though. I prefer a Kobra sight. I can hit paper plates at 150 yards off-hand with my WASR-10 AK with a Kobra.
What paper work do you need to get a serial number? and where can you get it punched onto the receiver?
dont you need a ffl to buy the reciever? been looking online and cant find anybody who will sell one without a ffl
Pregunta, de cuanto es el ancho del receiver?
What do you call the $200 tax for NFA weapons on a form 4? Transfer fee? Ok... same thing. It's a tax, it's a transfer fee... whatever.
Oddly, I've carried M16s, A1s, A2s, A3s, M4s, XM177s and a dozen civilian AR15s for 23 years. I've never had a reliability problem apart from a couple of mags with damaged lips (which were 20+ years old when issued to me). I guess it depends on whether the soldier is a 3rd world illiterate peasant or a professional...
@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
Wow this video was posted 10 days before I was born.
And then this happens /watch?v=oid33TqS1QI
By the way, you need an entirely new bolt carrier if you want full auto, or it will fire out of battery (and when that happens - link above). It requires a small bump that trips the auto sear, and you can't just add it in unless you got mad welding skills and precision tools. Otherwise I wouldn't trust it to hold up.
I know this video is 12 years old but do you have the plans for this?
