I'm getting that its better to buy a pre built ak cause it will be cheaper and less of a pain in the *** to build one. Or get a wasr and have rifle dynamics upgrade the wasr. But since i live in cali, with ffl fee's, shipping charges, bullet button, i'll end up paying over 1k if i go this route. Hell i'll end up paying the same to have one built. But i won't have to go through an FFL dealer and i can buy my own aftermarket kits.

I don't have any tools but occasionally we have build parties and usually they have all the necessary tools to have ak's built.

I want your thoughts, opionions or suggestions! Have anyone of guys built your own AK? How would you say it compares to say a wasr or even a arsenal ak's. (quality of the build, finish and how does it shot )

Here's one of the kit i may get, but it is pricey.
