I'm silently judging you for being that hardcore of a builder, but shooting Cor Locts... j/k
Cool project, way out of my lane. |

Very well done. Look forward on the progress.
I bet ATF didn't realize that guys out there with the proper license and know how are more talented in putting things back together that will then work, than they realized. |

Hi Matt,
Great job and like it was said before, "way out of my league." I'm still missing the last detent spring in my garage! John |

View Quote If building for personal use & without the intention of selling, there is no specialized license past being a lawful gun owner. The atf is aware people do this. I'll be using an ATF approved semi modification. I still do makers markings & caliber & what not for peace of mind. |

Sweet! I need to get my ass going on these pps kits. A guy on weapons guild was doing some EdM drop in trigger kits for them. Wish I had the specs to make the trigger packs

Wish I had the specs to make the trigger packs View Quote There is a build thread using an AK trigger, hammer, & disconnetor. I'd like to do one with the modified Ak binary trigger group. But I've got too many projects going. 7.62x51 bren (full build) 303 bren (full build) Winchester 97 trench gun (this just needs 3 screws to be done) Winchester 97 riot gun Makarov (went through a fire. Could be a paper weight now.) 1863 Sharps src (my wife's gun, but I still get to fix it. Still in the original .54 cal) 1891 Carcano ( bullet stuck in the bore. Really stuck) Couple of retro Ar sitting on the back burner. Ain't got the time to fiddle like I used too. My wife did say I can get myself a cheapo mill here soon. So that'll be handy. That doesn't include three Cj5 & two F100 I get sort out as well. |

And I need to get my lathe home. Plus my son is restoring/getting it running a 47 Ford 2N tractor. Good luck with the builds |

Reading this and seeing you do God's work makes this old Gunners Mate heart just a little less salty. You Sir are an artist. What you're doing is amazing.
I see you talk about needing a mill. I don't know if it would work but I've come across several threads elsewhere talking about using a drill press as a mill. Now the way I understand it, a machinist would slap someone for suggesting such a thing, but for limited and light duty jobs, a drill press can be used in a pinch. I don't know if this info is of any help to you, but I figured I would offer it up. I can't wait to see the finished product. |

fuck yeah man, i can appreciate that. Are you good at working on ak's and chopping barrels?

Sooooo far beyond my capabilities. Interesting to see though.

I forgot to order another pps kit today from Bowman and missed the sale.

Need recommendations for an engraver. Instate would be nice, localish to Springfield would be even better. Will be needing to have the Galil IMI markings & the serial numbers on the L4a3 Bren gun restored. As well as the sbr info on the Galil. I've tried engraving and I'm really to fat fingered for it.

Still cool stuff. Not that I'll ever do it, but I like seeing it.

I like it. Interesting to hear some of how things *should be*, when I wouldn't have a clue.
