Chucktshoes: I keep posting the image links from imgur after I push button "insert other media" and then "insert image from url". I have tried all links that imgur provides. Please let me know what I am doing wrong. Thank you in advance for your patience.

Pricing an AK is easy. Gun-broker/Armslist or check the classifieds on the AK Forum or the AK Files, but you'll need to check the sold ads. Yes, people ask a lot more for things they think they can, Childer's receivers included. What they sell for is a different matter. Don't mean much on a personal build.
As to your response to Magiccarpetrides, a new dude with 15post would be better off to receive info or PM a trusted source than posting an obvious forum tactic of newbies to sell stuff without a proper add. Magic has been around awhile and knows pricing and sales far better than you could imagine. As well as how to part of a forum community.
Checking sold ads is a great idea to get an idea of value.
This place is somewhere I hope to make friends and mostly talk. I am not trying to sell the rifle.

I joined a few months back but was not in a spot where I was going to be as active.
Now that I am settled in (just moved here), I will be talking more.
I am a hobbyist whose main interest is Gunsmithing, AK building and learning how to put together other firearms.
I am happy to help and/or give advice.
I am also looking for a few good gentlemen to shoot with on occasion.
I love the South already!

I am not trying to skirt $35. Thank you so much for this though.

Lol man just become a benefactor and list it for sale ...it’s very obvious what your doing here. I think it’s like $35 for 6 months. Who knows maybe you can turn a buck off several builds if your so inclined but please do it the right way. Also as to value an unknown person building one in Knoxville isn’t going to bring as much as an established company...I personally wouldn’t buy a home built AK unless I knew the person who built it had some actual gunsmith credentials (like Xtriggerman on here).
I am not trying to sell it here. I am a hobbyist and I am not desperate to sell an arm. I am also a new hobbyist so I am not as knowledgeable, so yeah excuse me. I am doing things the RIGHT WAY, by asking around. I'll become a benefactor when I feel like it. Go police the crosswalks at your kids school or something.

Ditch the 74 brake and replace with the angle comp it came with and install the c. rod. $750-$800 would be a fair price.
Bill
The parts kit came with the 74 brake.
The cleaning rod is there. (Edit not in that pic.) But I have it.
Similar guns go for way more ESPECIALLY with Childer's receiver. On Armslist and Gunbroker.
I think it's value is much higher. Before I turn to Gunbroker I will see what Guns.com has to say.
Anyone else find a number and/or reason?

Pics would help.
Bill
Does that help?
I think I need to put up a Wordpress site real quick or something in order to host the images. This is the only one it let me put on here.

It will not let me upload other pictures but I shot it today and it was the most well balanced easy shooting AK I have ever had the pleasure of buying. It also has scope rail riveted in...
If anyone would shoot me what they think it's value would be I would greatly appreciate it. I am TEMPTED to sell but not doing so at this time. First I have to see what it is exactly worth. I see Childer's receivers on AK's and that usually shoots price through roof. This was my first build so I used only the best.

I have completed the building of a;
Romanian AIMS 74
Childer's receiver, Paratrooper folding stock, Engraved Eagle of Romania, Parts Matching, 5.45x39, with markings, double trigger humps, Kreb's Custom Retainer Plate, FIME trigger, one Tapco 30 round magazine.
How much would you gentlemen think this is worth?
I am going to fire it tomorrow, but just wanted to have an idea what people think of my first AK Build.

Something similar once happened to me and when it did the problem was with the amount of gas. It is likely over-gassed or under-gassed. I am not sure.

New member that just finished his AIMS 74 build.
If you want to shoot with me please holler.

Hello all.
AK-Builder is out of their AIMS barrel clones, so...
I was wondering if there was a smith that could help me.
I wanted to convert Romanian AIMS to 556/223. I have it as a 762 Childers receiver and AIMS 74 barrel right now and just need the proper 556/223 barrel installed. The barrel still has the sights and all from the 74 AIMS.
Thank you.

Does anyone know of a smith that will convert Romanian AIMS to 556/223?

Hello Everybody!
I am new to Tennessee and greatly enjoying it. I moved here from South Florida a few months ago...
I am happy to see a place where I can talk with locals.
I am in need of a smith that can take my Romanian AIMS 74 into a 556/223. I have all the parts for the AIMS besides the barrel and I know that there is an additional two pieces. The barrel pieces are on the 74 barrel. If someone could help me I would be very grateful.
Thank you. I am grateful that this exists.
