INGO AK-47 BUILD PARTY!! JUNE 26th @ US Defense Solutions, Greenwood

[jarrodmorgan]

What all do I need to do to prep I'm assuming remove the old receiver pieces and drill the old rivets I have a unissued g kit and an ab2 kit

 

[Clay]

yes if you can remove the old receiver pieces from the front trunnion, as well as removing the rivets from the trigger guard, and the rivets and receiver section from the rear trunnion.

If you have the means to press the barrel pin and barrel out of the front trunnion that's great as well, if not no big deal.

Wabbit has a video on it:

Contact clay or the wabbit on this.

USDS offers Cerekote services so yes that is an option to anyone wanting to pay for it.

Is that done in house or is it a send out job? I have a Duracoat firearms finish kit but need the sandblasting done first. I might be interested in that. Plus I need to get my bolt cutter rivet smasher back. It's been a while!

 

[STEEL CORE]

Thank you Wabbit its time to "Get er done", looking forward to it.

 

[jarrodmorgan]

I haven't done one but i also have a kit with a receiver. I have a VZ58 that i bought that may help us get through it.

Check with josh or Jeremy McGee at aws in greenwood they recently built a vz58 for a guy

 

[jarrodmorgan]

Hopefully my childers receivers are in if not I'll just get a nodak, do you suggest getting one with the trunnion holes predrilled

 

[Clay]

you can. They are usually pretty close, good enough for AK work anyway

Just two weeks out and im getting excited. Just got all my parts for my saiga conversion ordered. I was wondering if anyone could help me chop down a barrel and pin and weld a muzzle device on?

I would talk to AllenM about that chopping the barrel unless USDS has a lathe and welder in the back. I don't have any tools for that.

 

[beef-supreme]

I have a set of toth tool cutter/rivet smashers and a table top drill press, would those help? Punches, 3/4" brass drift, etc?

 

[TheWabbit]

If you bring a tool and don't use it, no harm.

1 week from Sunday. Get those kits demilled.

Nope nothing like that back there

Well it was worth a shot. I guess after the build i'll have to get ahold of AllenM

Ok guys, we only have 2 people signed up for the class and just 1 person paid. If there is not going to be at least 10 in the class pre-signed up, we will need to cancel our location for the class. Sorry for the inconvenience, however it must make sense for us to open up the classroom (electricity, AC, etc.) even just for us to clean up, because last time the classroom was left a mess so I had to go over and clean up. That's not a problem, however we just need to get our ducks in a row. -Mike

 

[gunselman]

I wish this could have materialized.

I am 1 of the 2 who signed up.

Same here. Hopefully more will sign up this week. If not is there anyone in the indy area that can help me take off the front sight and gas block?

 

[wuza22]

Needing to install rails with my receiver, I haven't seen anyone posting about availability of a spot welder.

 

[STEEL CORE]

I plan to be there, however I have to work either 4AM-12:30 or 6AM-2:30, so I cannot get there until 1:30, or 3:30, and if the latter, I don't think anybody would be able to help me get my Chinese FSB and gas block off and a new one installed and the FSB re attached.

Again I plan to attend, even if its only to have somebody there look it over, convince me they can take it, repair it, and meet me somewhere, to give it back. (I will pay you).

 

[TheWabbit]

1. Right now we dont have enough people. Im going to check back on Wed.
2. If it happens, i will be there 11-4. I will have my spot welder. Watch my video on how to do it. Unless it is seriously stuck, popping a FSB off and installing a new one wont take long.

 

[beef-supreme]

I called in for two spots last week. I was told to pay on sunday.
I just have two headspaced kits and complete receivers.
