so around the slatington area? use the new tapco flats, they make building go alot faster. i have a 12 ton press, 555th flat jig, bolt cutter riviter, barrel press in jig, trigger guard jigs and 220v spot welder, oxy acet torch and i love beer (lol). when are you looking to build one?

Posted: 6/4/2008 3:05:38 PM EDT

damn you're good lol. Actually im just outside Palmerton. Before i moved here tho i lived right outside Slatington off 873!
I need to order the rest of my parts next week so sometime after that. Just tell me what kind of beer is preferred and i can definitly handle that lol Which flats would you recomend with or without trunion holes?

I'm in the Horsham/Willow Grove area, will drive wherever needed. I don't have a garage, just a workshop otherwise I'd invite y'all over. I need to bend/weld/heat treat 1 or 2 flats. I can do the assembly later at home.

I can bring my bolt cutter rivet tool and even my 12t press if needed, and help out as I can.

I know of another guy local that would probably be interested as well. I also have 2 cases of homebrew beer that will be ready in 7-10 days to share

I'm that local guy

, even though my location shows NC I really live in PA for the summers since I'm a student. Bethlehem PA area, thought I work in Coopersburg and up in Jim Thorpe so I'm always driving between those places, so driving for me is not a problem

I've got 2 fully demilled kits, 2 100% receivers, and will shortly have everything needed for the build thanks to win1200riot.

ETA: if anyone wants to work on AR15's I have all the AR specific tools, all that is needed is a bench vice. I've got a GI barrel wrench, spanner stock wrench, and upper receiver block with insert

Shoot me an email when you plan on doing this, have a few flats and kits that need building.
And yes chevy2, this is checkeye .... :)
do i know you ????
LOL

Im in the Lehighton/Palmerton/Slatington area very often, and would be very interested in attending a build party. I can bring a 12 ton press, drill press and other tools, as well as my knowledge of building about 1/2 dozen AKs. I really just need access to a rivet jig, so I wont be hogging up a lot of your time, and Id be glad to help anyone else who needs it.

Posted: 6/5/2008 3:56:46 PM EDT

Holy crap lol i'll keep you in the loop i can't get away from the checkeye guy Did you paint your car yet? Im sanding away on mine hopefully this summer i'll get it sprayed

Posted: 6/5/2008 6:28:34 PM EDT

LOL ...
No car painting, still a heap of shell and parts through out garages, sheds and the house ..
Big surprise ... I am doing something this summer though, it will leave the garage either on its own power or from the tow truck. Tired of not having the space for other projects.

I have a 110V spot welder with the tongue extension for the siderails, a 12 ton press, a bolt cutter but not the modified jaws needed for rivets. Also have a mig welder but its not too portable.

Let me know what else may be needed and i'll try to get it together. I'm also next in line for the jig rental over on the AK Files, maybe that will show up and we would have two jigs... mass production ..... Thanks !
