AK receiver flats, as well.
VERY TRUE. = I attended an “AK building party” in 1995 in VA where over 200 “AK clones” of various sorts were built from flats & assorted parts.
(SOME builders serial-numbered their creation & some did NOT, as VA law doesn’t require serial numbers on “homemade firearms”. - I serial numbered my “AK clone” & registered it at our PMO, as a non-serial numbered firearm is ILLEGAL to possess on US military posts.)
Mine started out as a parts kit for a Hungarian “paratrooper” AK carbine with a “demilled” 14” barrel.
(We cut what was left of the the barrel into two pieces with a torch, as it was illegal to assemble into a rifle & installed a NEW barrel on the receiver. - Frankly I see NO good use for an AK “pistol”. = Just too big/clunky for my taste.)
ONE good thing about a “built it myself forearm” is that you can get exactly the firearm that you want. = “my sort of an AK” has a LONGER butt-stock than is standard on any real AK.

Btw, I’m “thinking on” building another “junk-box AK clone” from a “receiver flat”, with a 16.5” barrel & folding stock, as a “truck gun”.
IF/WHEN I build it, it will be painted with APPLIANCE PAINT & in “semi-gloss” black. = Appliance paint or auto exhaust paint is the TOUGHEST finish that I’ve yet found for firearms, as after either paint cures fully it’s difficult to get off with sandpaper.
