yea i bought 2 more ak kits from center fire and bought 2 suomi kits, im just going to weld my receivers back together and try to see what rethreading can be done to it. since the slag sorta puddled up in some of the threading.
Looks very salvageable though. hey for 19.99 you cant go wrong! |

Welding those receivers back together is a one way ticket to prison. You need to use a receiver that the origonal bolt will not fit in. Go over to weaponeer.com cause they have a section devoted to making these semi auto and the conversion takes a lot of work. The insides are almost nothing like what was in there. Many things need to be done to make the ATF happy.

So far I have 11 of these kits and once the RPD's come in I'll have 13. There are two types of these SMG's: one has the standard barrel shroud and the other has a muzzle brake attached that didn't seem to really help compared to no brake. I have both types and look forward to building both versions someday. I agree that Weaponeer.net is the site to go to if you want to learn how to make your Suomi kit a semi auto.
I agree with above that you cannot weld the receiver pieces together w/o doing anything else as that is a one way ticket to Club Fed unless you're a Class 3 Dealer (I am) with a Demo letter from a law enforcement agency that is sent to the ATF and returned "approved". |

Beware. Owning both the parts kit and a FA reciver can be called "intent". If somebody want to get rig of a set or 2 get hold of me.

As long as the parts kit doesn't have the original full auto receiver pieces welded up you can own the parts kit and the demilled receiver pieces as that's how they're shipped from the vendor...if they even include the receiver pieces that is.

I should clarify. I was implying a completed milled FA receiver. ATF doenst care if its not together just if all the parts are there to make it go bang.

I'd love to attempt to build a semi version. Do you still have any more? The cost might make it more effective than trying to build a semi thompson.

HIJACK!!
Definately cheaper than a Tommy. Plus the 71 rnd drums are $30 a piece! I think prexis does both the semi and full. OMP |

Ah, OMP, i thought you had a couple that you were willing to get rid of. I must have been pretty tired last night.... Anyways, I think it would be an interesting conversion. It seems like alot of work, though. I"m sure machining wouldn't be too hard, though if you were really dedicated.

WHy couldn't you just use a tube that fits inside the ORIGINAL reciever pieces, weld the pieces to this tube and fill in the gaps, you now have a reciever that is smaller in diameter and won't fit the original bolt......

hhmm, That may work, I dont know what the legalities issues are with that though.
OMP I may have to pick up some more drums from centerfire. Thats darn cheap. |

That would work. They just want you to not be able to swap things out that would make it F/A. That is, origional parts. So the origional bolt cant be put back. Plus you need to machine off the feed lips on the bolt as well.

I got a couple of sten mk3 kits. I'm currently waiting for someone to make a legal semi-auto kit for it . (which replaces everything ...).
