Post up if you find some in stock, I've been searching but most don't have trunions or a barrel.My flat should be here by Monday you can mark me down as "has a flat to bend" at the very least still shopping for a decently priced fixed stock kit.
If you have a kit and want it assembled at the build party, we need a 100% ready receiver. Any flats we bend will not be ready to assemble unless you understand that you will have to heat treat later with your trunnions installed. Make sure you read everything you can about doing that before we install your trunnions. Even if you spot treat with a MAPP torch that day, the receiver will need time (i.e. overnight) to cool.
Coming to the party, it would be possible to form the flat and get help getting the receiver drilled and ready for assembly of the trunnions and trigger guard?
Thanks for the heads up the other day about flats coming in stock! Ordered two (1-74, 1-47) I need another one, but not absolutely crucial. I am now hoping to find a 74 barrel... What a good thread!
So I had an Egyptian AK47 on back order from midwayusa since Jan. 2.
Here is another Maadi .. and yes, $100 more:

You will want your trunnions before drilling if possible. Not all trunnions are the same or in the same place. I've learned that the hard way.
Yes, they do have them in stock. After shipping and taxes (Maryland) the total is almost $400 ($396.44 to be exact). Might do some shopping before I pay that.
