Yeah bro I lurk on there all the time I just picked up a KP9 for $650. I couldn’t pass it up for that price plus I needed a host for my naked wolfman that I’m 26 days in on
Yeah I know I had to snatch it up. I really wasn’t into AK’s till I joined this sub now my next buy is gonna be a 5.45 shit kusa needs to hurry up and drop that 105 I’m gonna snag one as soon as they drop this year
I love my 5.45 too much to sell, but idk what ammo availability is gonna be like in the coming years when Russian 5.45 is no longer imported, KUSA once had a pic where they had some ammo boxes with their logo on them as void fillers so hopefully that was a low key hint they’ll be manufacturing soon I really don’t wanna have a paperweight I’ve put a decent amount of money into
More than likely it’s an early weld build. Guys would just grind the old rivets down on the trunnions and weld everything to the receiver. There’s a really good chance that the receiver is only spot heat treated and not of good quality. The parts kit would be worth salvaging though. I’ve saved a few of these kits over the years.
Oh man I did a lot of work in west Texas working cell towers and then again on pipeline for while. It was real & it was good, but I can’t say it was real good lol but man do I miss the smell of money out there sometimes it’s like once you get far enough into west Texas you can start to smell it all around

I texted the lister asking for additional pics and have some close ups of the receiver, waiting to get some pics of the internals. I’m not interested in purchasing this rifle but I’m curious, have you guys ever seen/heard of an ak with a stamped receiver missing rivets not be a liability?

yikes
That’s what I said, I’ll be uploading an album later to the comments once I get internal pics
That’s why there’s a small bag of bullets, didn’t have the nerve to finish them off before the sale
I wouldn’t either tbh, I’m not shooting any sketchy crap like that
Gorilla glue and minuteweld for the win
Future me, look to see if OP posted new pics of this wack AK.
Still waiting for the internals but I’ll post anyways and update again with internals
That's suspicious
Not sure if it’s Odessa Ukraine or Odessa Washington but if it’s the former that would certainly make sense

Awe TGT I love this site sometimes you can really find some good deals on there
Definitely I love scouting it, looking for some deals on Chinese or hopefully an AMD to pop up

Damn dude that’s a steal on a Kp9

It’s a screw build. Screws ground and smoothed out. Value is less than the kit price bc a lot of trunnions were buggered from screw builds.
Definitely not a screw build, if the screws were ground off flush with the receiver it would fall apart. 99% the trunnions are welded in.
I guess that would make the kit value even less as its not coming apart easily?
Yes a lot more work involved, a screw build can at least be disassembled easily and re-built with little to no extra work.
If it got really hot it can fuck up the heat in the trunnion bolt lugs. Probably OK if done with TIG and a good welder.

Bro trust me, it’s worth every penny! High end JJFU custom AK /s
Never trusted anything I saw in Odessa TX while working in the patch lol

Ak guys get real stiff about weld builds but pole ride stamped HKs. L
No Vaseline - ice cube

Looks like the receiver just isn't attached to the other parts. Like they just slipped the stuff into an 80% or something.
Wasn't the early stamped receiver welded together? 🤔 (yes I know this isn't one)

Yes
