Further plans still include a '74-style muzzle brake to complete the AK-103 cloning process, and a fast-acquisition optic like a Kobra or similar, but the major work is finally finished. I think I filed the mag catch just a hair too much (there's just a little forward-to-back mag wobble), but some range time to make sure all is well will answer that question. All in all it was fun, and it's time to go shooting.

Parts list for anyone who's interested:

Dinzag:
Bullet guide
Gas piston
Trigger guard
Screw-on lower hand-guard retainer
Gas tube
Pistol grip nut
Plastic hole plugs
Steel FCG pin retainer plate

K-Var:
All furniture
Gas tube "rattle" spring
Lower hand-guard retainer spring

Milsurpstuff.com:
Tapco single-hook G2 FCG (mostly because Dinzag was sold out at the time of order)

Red Star Arms:
Hogue pistol grip
LULA mag loader

Very nice! Congrats!

I hope you get the super glue off, and I too don't know anything that will get it off without marring the paint, besides maybe a razor blade and a steady hand.

For anybody who's interested, I used a little nail polish remover and it took the glue off without damaging the finish. Just don't linger in one place for too long.
