This AK peasant rifle bullshit building all started with the Maadi Crutch Folder thread.

Wow, that looks really cool and the kit was pretty cheap. All I needed to do was buy a receiver and do the 922r compliance bullshit make it kosher. I got 2 Maadi Crutch and 1 Romanian Kit around the middle of Sept. I also ordered a 3 receivers (still waiting on them) from 74ullc at that time as well.
As I wait for the receivers to come in, I look at other AK builds and saw this one.
Wow! That motherfocker is sexy and would be a great truck gun.
Because I had ordered 3 receivers and I was in the build queue, I was able to change one of them to a Khyber Pass. One of the Maadi kits I had purchased looked like a drunk gorilla used his feet to demilled it. No matching numbers and a lot of grind marks on the trunnions.
More waiting and fapping, I buy more parts without doing research. Now my Maadi kit looks like this, I think this is the sexiest of truck guns!
Now I need to convert an AKM into a Krinkov, WTF was I thinking? I've been looking at buying the Krinkov pieces, like the gas tube and a M92 front sight gas block. Other people that have cut down the gas tube with success.

The sight radius is going to suck because I don't have the proper dust cover, I figure I'll mount a dot sight to it for now. Then maybe re-populate the barrel with the rear hinge block thingy and get the appropriate cover later on. I might get lucky and find them before the receiver comes in. I highly doubt I will want to re-populate the barrel though.
Then there are the tools, since I'm going to be building 3. Having tools made would save a lot of grief and aggrevation.
I'm still waiting on the reamers and a few other small tools before I press the barrels. Hopefully they will arrive this week so I can populate the barrels before the end of the month. I plan on doing the Romy one first because it was the least expensive of the 3 in terms of parts.
The moral of the AK build post today is do more research before buying parts here and there. I did not fully realize that things were not that compatible. But I'm sure that Flintoid and Boris would tell me that with enough Vodka everything can be made compatible.
