Hmmm,  Where have I been?  Receivers are done but the website has been down.  I am picking them up Monday and will ship the ones that are paid and we have FFLs for prior to my leaving for the Creek Thursday.

Been busy as hell with AK LULAs.

We ended up doing the nitrite thing.  They are about 60 Rockwell cased.  This should work well. A moderate center in the metal and good and hard on the surface and all holes.

Yeah, I know.  This stuff all got very, very complicated.

There is an N scale and an R scale.  The treatment that had to be used on this metal, and remember I had the metal analyzed by Arrow labs, as a nitrite case hardening.  This produces an N scale hardening.  Basically the metal is hard on all outside surfaces but the center is not nearly as hard.  Result is that you get a very hard surface for about .001 to .002".  Kinda like an Oreo.  The interior metal is still flexable.  Hence you get excellent wear properties on all outside surfaces, like the pin holes, ejector, rails etc. without the attendant brittlness of a real hard rockwell all the way thru.  These will be perfect for AKs which have a lot of flex when firing.

It took a lot of time and we trashed a few receivers between cuttin' one up for the metalurgy and trying different tempratures and times at the heat treaters.

All involved feel this is the optimum solution for AKs and solves the problem of these excellent but formerly dead soft pieces.

Yes,  I will take them to the Creek.  They will be more money there but not if you mention you saw them here.  But do it quietly.:)

Back from the Creek.  The AK receivers did real well there but I do have some left.

I am shipping orders for them today.

If you want one let me know as soon as you can as I want to close these out.

Contact me at "[email protected]"  Or call me at 816 809 9452

You will want a complete kit, including triggerguard/mag release.  Most kits available have them.

These kits were designed for Chinese parts kits but a Euro AK will work fine, you just need to drill one more hole for the barrel trunion. All the others holes and cuts are the same.

You will need a complete rivet set, I reccomend Global Trades for these as they know exactly what you need.  Just give them a call and tell them what you are up to.

Denny

if you are thinking about building an akm, get 'em now! they'll be gone forever in a few short weeks or days.

Campy,

You are on the money with the comments above.  We started with 84 receivers.  One was destroyed for the lab tests, four warped trying a couple of hardening methods we presold about 9 here on AR15.com, sold 25 something at the Creek, I am keeping 13 for special projects sooooo that leaves about 35 or so available right now.  After they are gone that is it, over, finished, no more.

Denny

Shon,

The receivers were not put on the website due to the limited quantity available.

Email me at [email protected] or give me a call at 816 809 9452 Monday and we will make arragement for you to get one.

Denny

We are getting very low on these receivers.  Started with 80 something and now I can see the bottom of the box.

I took 25 myself for future projects

Look for an AMD 65 AOW from us in the near future.
Got all the parts, receivers, rivets, just waiting on the rear trunions to get going.
