AK BUILD PARTY ... AGAIN!!!!! Indy Southside

[remauto1187]

I will be there and Warthog said he will be riding with me too.

I will have the following tools/equipment with me.
12ton Harbor Freight Press (assuming no one breaks in to my house gets past the German Shepherd, Belgian Malinois and my supressive fire and steals this one)
Go, No-Go, and Field gauge sets in 5.45x39 and 7.62x39
AKbuilder tools: Receiver Rivet tool set, Barrel remove/install tool and Trigger Rivet Jig.

By the time the 19th gets here I should have most of my kits built so I will be available to help build and form some method to our madness to help keep builds going smoothly.

What time we getting this party started on the 19th?

You home security system made me giggle with excitement as I pictured your AWESOME dogs chewing on a burgulars carcass

Last time I remember some saying we should have started earlier and maybe some later. I'm good for whatever. I have nothing to do but enjoy the company all day long.

Dont make me showup at our door at 4am bouncing accross your driveway hiked up on coffee screaming "lets go lets go, we got AK's to build!"

9:00 ish is fine with me. Give or take a little. I'll probably drive down the night before and back home the day of!

If someone has a bucket of oil (and people bring MAPP gas), we could do the first step of hardening (bright orange and dunk...without catching TT's shed on fire). When you get home, you can bake the receiver at 400F for 1 hour... or you can use the MAPP torch and do the 2nd step at the party (blue-silver and let it cool - no dipping).

 

[1911ly]

I have a couple small torches and a few bottles of MAP. I will do my best to dig them out! just the FCG holes and the ejector tip on the rails? Should be easy enough.

Yes. 4 holes (trigger and hammer) and the ejector tip.

Ah so you don't have to treat the whole receiver? Learn something new everyday

 

[TheWabbit]

100% heat treat is preferred but I don't have a kiln. A lot of home builders use the spot heat treating method. If done right, it should outlast the owner.

If VitaminK comes, dude you gotta wear pants!

I don't see why everyone wants to stifle my creative genius. I do some of my best work sans pants.

 

[1911ly]

It's the only real heavy wear area's. It's be nice to be totally treated but the chance of warping is high it it's not done properly. I brought this up in the other party thread but I thing it got skipped. NP!

Well with all the grinding and cutting we were just worried about your "junk"

 

[1911ly]

Hey everyone! It's check in time! Where are we at on parts and kits? Everyone still on task for the19th? It's not that far away!!

 

[sgtonory]

I'm in with 2 Romy G kits ready to finish.

You will NEVER run out of Romy G's to finish.

 

[Trigger Time]

Where did you get so many?

 

[remauto1187]

Im good to go. 5.45x39 and 7.62x39 gauge sets came in. I do have to send AK74 barrel back to AoA tomorrow. Beware! Bulgarian AK74 kits may have oversized trunions and standard barrel will drop right in and go all the way to the bolt by hand! Trunion will have a 3 or a 4 marked on top of it if it is oversized.

Seems like it Right?! Time to get these things built these re my last two. I came across a bunch (probably thousands) of Romy and Yugo kits sold by Century at Knob Creek for almost nothing back I forget what 6 years ago? I bought about $800 worth of them then. Wish I had bought the whole container now!

 

[Trigger Time]

Guys I'm sorry to do this but I need to change our build party date to Saturday OCTOBER 25th
im sorry if that jacks with anyone's schedule but I have no choice. The wife has spoken.
