Egyptian kits

[madmax4x4]

Just a heads up Cope's has the kits with Arabic rear sight for 250$ again. I sure they will sell out fast.

is the rear sight the only thing thats arabic on the kits? not these specific ones but is that what is so highly sought after? the reason im asking is ive already got 4 kits but want the arabic markings so it would be cheaper to find just the rear sight then buying all new kits if thats the only difference

The rear sight leaf and sight block is Arabic marked. You see the Arabic marked sight block for sale at times but almost never see the sight leaf up for sale. That's what the photo above is.

Got three more kits in today. They have Arabic sight leaf but not the Arabic sight block.

yes a bit surprised they have the Arabic sight leaf but the export sight block.

From what I have seen all of those kits were export models. There were a few of them that had an Arabic marked sight leaf. Build them as export models a the look good.

Bro, just contact #1bambam. It's not worth the expense/investment in special tools unless you're doing a ton of builds. And with the barrel ban and price of kits these days it's just hard to make it worthwhile.

ya i know ive mulled it over a bit. i figure im 24, got a lot of life left to use the tools and i can only see my collection growing as i get older. plus i like tinkering and paying bam to do it just wont give me the same satisfaction! im probably going to be looking for used jigs and the like anyway to keep cost down

There was a guy selling some tool on the ak files a couple of days ago. The ak builder stuff is the best. I was able to assemble the barrel I don't know when i will get it finished.

I smell a build party comin' on...

 

[kcinnick]

Mine are going to Kentucky to get built, I will do better working on stuff I know how to make @ the price I am getting then trying to build myself.

My kit so far:

all-Arabic marked parts
Romanian barrel
NOS furniture (from Parsi)
NDS-1 rec'r

I'm contemplating a build but already have my share of Maadi's.

Sorry, but it's the holidays, and I have a daughter who just turned 4. Oh, and I took a break to put a solid state drive in my 6 year old laptop which is now the fastest machine on my network. Slicker'n owl ****.

Dang it, Kenner would probably be very cool but gotta work the Houston show with a bud of mine.
