I hope I am doing this right, first time posting, replying, or whatever... will learn with time. I am trying to post to AkaTom. Tom, I know you said you sold all of your build tools, but I was wondering if maybe I could pick your brain a little bit. I live in St. Clairsville, and I am very interested in building my own AK. I have read tutorials, and I believe I have a reasonable understanding, but I always learn the most from talking to someone, face to face. Maybe I could bring a case of beer and just get some info off of you? Thanks for any reply, ahead of time.
I know there are some other builders not too far off that still have tools and the such, any reply is appreciated. I have had several specific firearm questions over the last few weeks. I have been doing some homework on a number of firearms I am interested on purchasing, and firearm coatings. Forums just like this one have been a God send, and I really value all of the helpful members out there who take time out of their day to help a fellow shooter. Thanks to everyone. |

Instead of bumping it, why doesn't it get tacked? And why hasn't anyone added our build group to the list? All these AK tools going to rust away...
