PPS-43 Kit 7.62x25mm

Has anyone built a PPS-43 from a kit? Is it similar to building an AK?

It's much more difficult than building an AK.

You will need to build or adapt a semiautomatic fire control group, modify the receiver so an unmodified bolt won't fit, find a longer barrel or add a permanent extension, and a bunch of other stuff.

And there isn't really anything in the way of commercial parts for these either.
