I've thrown together a few AR uppers and lowers, and I've contemplated an AK build, but I just can't get into it. I did get my hands on a decent condition stripped Smith Corona receiver and a stripped bolt, after being given some (apparently old) info on availability of parts kits. My wife already has a decently period correct SC 1903A3, and we've been talking about adding a scoped bolt gun in something larger than .223 to the collection, so I figure this is a decent starting point.
Are there ANY decent parts kits out there any more? Or should I give up on keeping it kind of correct and just start looking at different stocks?
Looking to build in .25-06, or something else with the .30-06 as a parent case, that's at least kind of commercially available...So having the barrel included in the parts kit isn't that big a deal, though I'm going to need to find a source for the barrel as well.
Haven't even found decent assembly instructions or video. I'm very new to builds of this type, and any direction would be appreciated.
