you dont even need a 12 ton
you need the size of the 12 ton but as far as the pressure you could prolly get away with a 1 ton lol |

Are you serious? So I can get everything I need done with a 12 ton press? Can a 12 ton even press pinch the rivets i need pinched? So I can buy a parts kit and reciever and be able to pop all the pins and pop the barrel out and basically build a complete AK all with a 12 ton press? |

A 12 ton is all you will ever need for an AK build.

Thanks for the info, I will have to check them out. As long as they don't kill you on shipping, I'm going to place an order.  |

For me shipping was $51.70, so going with a local HF and a sale coupon would be better.

In many areas you can get on a email list to find out when they are coming to your town for a parking lot sale. $49 and you can just pick it up! check the website and find out how to get on thier mailer.

no wonder you have 14K posts. if they all have the as much valuable information, you are adding a ton to the site.  I second Homier if you can catch them at a local sale where you can pick it up. I got my 12 ton from them for $53 out the door. |

The limiting factor with the 12 ton press are the interior dimensions and they are somewhat flimsy.
They are bolted vs. welded together. Having used both, I prefer the 20. That being said, a large vise and BFH will do just about everything. |

Keep in mind that the shipping on the HF 12-ton is only 8.99 in CONUS. Superb deal for some really heavy stuff. I've found my 12-ton to be more than adequate for anything AK-related. If it's not pushing stuff fast enough, just give it a whack on top of the press-plate with a 3 lb. sledge. |

Why do people seem to prefer the H frame to the A frame? My workspace is kinda small, and Ive been thinking about the A frame as it is a bit smaller.

the A frame isnt as big and will make thangs harder i totaly agree that the 20 ton is alot better but i dont think its worth the price tag you can do everthang with a 12 ton |
