...they wont be available for a long time or possibly not at all. Picked up an AK74 Bulgarian parts kit. I think I lucked out on this. I ordered it Friday night and it arrived yesterday. Also ordered an 80% reciever and it showed up today. Even with all the panic buying going on I am in it for right at $300 right now total. I ordered a barrel yesterday and it shipped today. That was $150. With the 922 parts and a mag I think I should be in under $550. I plan on building it myself as I am a metal fabricator by trade and have built a few sporters and an AR in the last couple of years.

I think I must of hit it just right. I have been looking for the past few weeks and like everything else they are either sold out or $500 and up. I went to Atlantic Firearms website and they showed it in stock at $249. I went ahead and purchased and figured I would get a backorder notice. Next day I got a tracking number, could not believe it. I have checked website on and off last few days and some days they are in stock and some days out of stock. I think they are trickling them out little by little. They have however had two price increases in the past week. They were $299 on Tuesday and today they are $325. They must be doing the same with the barrels. Out of stock when I ordered the kit and yesterday they were in stock. I ordered a chrome lined for $125. Got tracking number on that today.

And the good thing with that 80% lower...No Serial Number and no way to tie it to a name.

I bought several of the "rusty" $99 kits a few years back, as well as some beautiful 74 kits.... never built a single one, and sold them all off for $$$.
Really wishing I had built one now. Still got several flats already bent up that I held on it... and a few random AK pieces here and there, but not enough to build a full rifle.
