Shouldn't this be made a sticky? The question seems to pop up often enough.

i got some more kerosean for my heater.will try to do some more work soon.this would be a good sticky when the project is finished.still have to do triggerguard,rear trunnion,and headspace and refinish.i will take pics and document all the things the best i can.i am going with alumhyde 2 in semi gloss for the finish.that is what looks closest to the original finish.you guys should grab 1 of these kits while you can.good deal for the price and not often seeing a arabic marked kit.putting the parts on the barrel is not hard even if you do not have a press,you could use some imagination and a hammer.

God hates me! All the writing on that rifle and rear site is awesome, however I am broke as hell! By the time I can afford one they will all be gone or $500....oh well, I will live vicariously through you. Excellent tutorial also, good job! Can't wait to see the finished product.

i used a dremel tool with a carbide cutter i got at sears to egg out the holes.as you see i had to egg out a couple of holes alot,but the ak trunnion and rivits are very forgiving.i crushed the rivits and the holes filled in with no problem. |

Nice work. How do you plan on refinishing, and are you going to try to save the Egyptian markings?

going to paint it with alumhyde 2 semi gloss.that looks near to original.the arabic markings will not be affected by the paint.i will use a whiting stick after it is painted to highlite the markings.you get the sticks from brownells.here is a gsg5 highlited with their paint sticks.

Are you going to blast first. The reason I am asking is I was looking at my kit and the Egyptian markings are shallow and I would not want to loose the markings if I blasted it.

NDS doesn't do Egyptian selector markings ...........do they?

NDS does not do the Egyptian selector markings. There are a couple for people in the link below who are working on engraving plates. i will probably get one of them to do mine when i get everything together.
