It is quite possible to build an AK from an 80% receiver without a lot of equipment. It does not require a whole lot of special skills to do either. Hopefully, this will inspire some of you would-be AK builders to give it a shot.

There are two booming markets in the United States for handguns: Concealed carry pistols, and out-of-the-box competition pistols. And Smith & Wesson has been a formidable name in both for many years.

If there ever was a wildly underutilized and misunderstood piece of gear in the gun world it’s probably the Individual First Aid Kit, IFAK. If you can start a bleed you should be able to stop one.
