A good friend of mine was at some gunshow in jackson Mississippi yesterday and noticed what appeared to be a ak47 parts kit but the trigger groups are something we have never seen before. He almost purchased them for collection but said the rest of the kit was in poor shape and at 300 bucks a pop was a little steep just to add to collection. Well it was steep to him, when he came to the table a hour or so later the lady had been cleaned out. So my question is are they like valuable collecting items or something?? ..

another thing, he said the kits came with a spare pin.

These full-auto parts have little value.

Many of the kits imported included the full-auto parts, so there's a lot of them floating around.
Since no one is allowed to assemble a full-auto AK, the parts have no real value.
 
thanks for the help. I figured it would be seriously illegal to sell those parts. It also explains why I never seen them in those trigger assembly kits I use.
 
As pointed out, several of those are the full auto parts. The spring on the left is the auto sear spring. The "U" shaped piece on the bottom right is the hammer retarder. The part in the bottom row, in the middle is the auto sear. The disconnector (top right) has extra material on the back of it.

The full auto pieces often come with parts kits, however you had better not possess them and have a rifle/receiver that they might fit into.

There's 2 pages of them on gun broker. Average price is $30.

Converting an AK to full auto has been impossible to do legally since 1986 unless it's being done for the government or as a dealer's sample.

The conversion also requires a full auto bolt carrier, drilling a hole in the receiver and cutting a slot in the bolt carrier guide rail. Pretty easy I would think, which is why just possessing those parts and a functional semi auto AK could open you up to the possibility of being charged with possession of a illegal machine gun or intent to manufacture a machine gun.

I wouldn't want them anywhere near my collection.
 
Just called the same friend and he said there was tons of ak47 stuff all laying on the same table. I mean that in itself should be a crime to have all the parts laying together. In a class 3 gunshop it would be fine. But at a gunshow where anybody and everyone can just walk in there and buy it... ill be wondering next time I hear a full auto on the news if those where the parts. He said there was like half a 5 gallon bucket of them. Incase some of you where at the same show. I believe he said it was the "great southern gun and knife show in jackson Mississippi.

I used to work at gunshop and we assembled ak47s but all of our trigger groups came in a little box..I believe tapco made them..and the hammer was different it didn't have that little notch in it and there wasn't any other parts.

Why? Someone going to throw them at you really hard? :p

You can't just assemble them in the gun, it doesn't work that way. There's something else very critical you need to do and it involves installing the third axis pin in the correct position and tempering the metal.

Besides, only lefties and communists waste time worrying about who might have full auto gun parts. If I was you I'd be more afraid of the criminal ATF that is giving firearms to Mexican drug cartels who in turn will kill people on our side of the border with them. The enemy is in the govt and is not the guy selling gun parts at a sportsmans show.
 
Lol good point bud.

I thought you just swaped out the tapco parts for those. And true, the atf just gives them to criminals already assembled :)
