Well I am the proud owner of a bunch of gas torch stuff that is much bigger than I thought it would be
The brass regulator alone weighs about 8 pounds Apparently his father worked on the rail road and used these with propane so that is perfect for me. i think i might need a smaller brazing torch though  the one small new tip does not fit on either torch. So Now I need an oxygen tank and some hose
Talk about a blast from the past I remember getting Ice cream at the mall at Woolworths I had no clue they had gas gauges

I'd blame backbencher for that, but I was there to fill my mig gas spare and grab some 7018 rod but then that torch caught my eye... So, a $270 torch and $200 of new regulators, a bottle of gas, and wire, and some stick rod, and some paint markers, and a couple flapper disks I finally made it out of air gas. If I didn't need 7018 rod for that Ibeam you've seen on my build thread, @backbencher would be entirely to blame.

Don't ask sample what he spent pre-41f after I gave him a .458" upper (sadly, a Rock River). I'm an enabler. If only I got a commission.

I stumbled across sublime's thread which reminded me about the flat spot kits. I was thinking of getting one for my dad as a father's day gift with the hopes of him teaching me to weld again. Now I think I will have to get two and make my own ugly gun with him.

All you need is a way to melt metal together (solder, braze, welds), a grinder with a flap disk and cut of wheel, a dremel/air grinder (a small boring bit is very handy), a set of good drill bits, a couple clamps and a few 1/4" bolts and washers. You'll also need an upper receiver in order to get the buffer tube mounts right and a lower parts kit you can install while it's in "roughly complete" state to make any modifications needed before it's "finished". |
