As much as I know on machine work I won't even tackle that one. The barrel threads are timed.
How are you gonna do that one. I was gonna start with a billet piece of tool steel and thread for the barrel then start squaring up the receiver in relationship to the barrel. To much work for me to do. Rick |

scram...Rick hit that one right on the head. All the little stuff that looks tuff is really nothing compared to setting the barrel. I have thought about building from a 60% but that's about as far as I've gone. Ask Snelling...he's been the cause of the BIY FAL bruhaha. If he hasn't built one then it probably ain't worth doing...Bud

Let me add to that....
you can finish a casting but you'll have to use a threaded barrel blank. Once the receiver is threaded, install your barrel and mark it so you can turn the profile on. Also the face of the barrel (receiver end) will have mill work done there also. This is the reason the factory threads are timed. It is doable Hope this helps. Rick |

Could you not use an inch barrel and the breaching washers to get the barrel timing?
