Build party?

[zteknik]

Great!Now I'm on a retainer!!
I figure when i get out there I'm going to do some shopping around so I can build up a nice parking and bluing setup.

Hey doc-how is that welded?
If its welded at the seams like by the front of the trunnion you might be able just to grind it iff and file/grind smooth and save it.
Even if its welded where the rivits go you can probably just drill it out.
Either way it still might be saveable-just weld where needed and belt sand.
Ive done that to a few fubared ones myself-just back what you weld with a brass plate so you dont have to clean up too much on the insides

Its welded front and back with a arc welder. And I think the barrel rivets are filled in too.

Oh Bob thanks for reminding me, you do awesome manganese oxide parking so not only bluing but I'll make you help me park stuff too (as if we'd need excuses to hang out)

Doc, try seeing if you can mostly demill your weld gun if it's a bear it might just be worth it to buy new trunnions. I think Bob has a contact in ny that was for a time selling polish from trunnions (polish are nice machining)

Hmm-Ive done arc welding on truck frames so I know how deep the welds can get-the receiver may be scrap.
But carefully grinding may save the trunnions.
Basicaly grind the receiver or cut the receiver to get to the trunnion and work from there.
The barrel rivits you can drill out once you grind off the receiver.
It may take some patience but can be done.

You can find another rommy trunnion on gunbroker for $25

Hes a good seller-Ive dealt with him before.

But you wont have a matching kit so you would need to headspace again
Just hopefully the pin that holds the barrell isnt welded-that would render both the trunnion and barrell useless-at least in my oppinion-due to the heat of the weld and the weld saturation into the barrell,i wouldnt trust it to any pressures.

Yeup justin thats why i want to get a full setup going.
I also know a lot of people wont do parking themselves so i can probably contract myself out
I do however want to get a big enough tank so I can at least finish off my Winchester Garand-but I'm seriously thinking of letting BP Tactical do it for me after seeing some of his work-I'm good but he's a Master!!!

Anybody ever make an AK pistol?

[Throat Erosion]

zteknik, I know that i would be willing to contract out some of your park/bluing services. I have a virgin barrel and a receiver that are still stainless on a nearly complete polish build.

Can you tell me what the advantages or disadvantages are between one and another? From you personal exp. I have very little knowledge in the matter

i've thought about it but it just seems impractical. i do have the parts for a blow back ak pistol in 7.62x25 but i need to get around to finally building it haha

If you're looking for a russian or bulgy left side folder then either an aksu from rguns or find one on gunbroker. If you want a right side polish, german, romy style then get a tantal kit from apex
