Video: Building a Semi-Auto AK From Parts Kit

A very thorough video lecture, although I had already read a lot about constructing an AK, this video was invaluable as a tool to visualize the process of assembling the kit. I'm going to have to see their video on trigger group assembly, as they didn't cover that topic in this video, and I'd recommend also researching methods of finishing metal parts as they don't go in to that, either, in this particular video. But as far as headspacing a rifle and doing a rivet build, this video covers nearly everything you could want to know and has made me a hell of a lot more confident going in to my first AK build. One thing though, if you are going to build or buy a receiver jig, spend the extra cash and build or buy a press to form the receiver with. It will cost less than the jig and save you a load of time. That is definitely one thing this video convinced me to change about my build plan.
