I just built an AK from an NDS-3 receiver and a Romy G parts kit (plus some Tapco 922r compliance parts). This is the first time I have ever held, let alone fired and AK. The good news is, the rifle functions fine (after I figured out I had the hammer in backwards), but I have two issues.
First, the top dust cover is too short and tries to jump off the gun after a few shots. I have a recoil buffer on order, will that help take up the slack? If not, how to I make the dust cover stay put?
Second, my empties (Wolf polymer coated) are getting tiger-striped. I suspect it happens as the rounds rattle back and forth as they are stuffed into the chamber. Is this something I should worry about? Here is the worst one:
Most of the other cases aren't as bad.
Thanks!
