I've got an OOW reciver and a AMD parts kit (the 16 inch barrel and regular buttstock).

Was going to make a screw build, but I found out I have the mechanical know-how of a dead lemeur.

I think I should let someone who's used power tools at least once take a crack at it.

Any suggestions?

Glen Riddle in Ohio.  He's as close as your UPS shipping center.

He built my FAL and AK.  Top quality work, responsive to emails and very willing to answer my AK newbie questions.

I sold off the AK recently to newblkrifle, and he seemed pretty pleased with it.

Well i heard there is going to be one real soon, but don't know exactly when they will be up and running. I'll ask a few questions and see what I can get for info and I'll let you know.

Oops, build party?

How about one for AR-15's?  I've been to armorer school, but it didn't include rebarreling, and I have this 20" Colt barrel I want on a flat-top upper...

I'm guessing he heard it from me.  Not a build party, but a gunsmith.  Av, I'll dig around, and see if I can come up with some info for you.

Thanks!

I've had all the parts for almost a year now, but gave up on it.

Since I no longer own a single semi-auto rifle, I might as well get this project done.

Glenn_r,

Please send me 'riddles' email address or website.  I've heard an awful lot about the trigger job he did on your former AK.  I hope to fire it live soon. [email protected]

Thank you

Here's his info page from the FAL Files, where I met him.  He's online there as I post this:
www.falfiles.com/forums/member.php?s=&action=getinfo&userid=3967

I don't have his email on this computer...if you can't access the FAL Files for some reason, give me an IM and I'll look him up on the other computer.

I can't recommend him highly enough.  Great guy.

My review from when I first received the AK.

It's a double-hook trigger with modifications to fit the OOW receiver.  I don't remember whether the receiver or the trigger components were modified.  That trigger was the best part of the rifle--a great execution of a rifle design that I just don't care for.

Glenn,

Was it an RSA or a G2?  What kind of trigger did he start with?

Approx price for his build - (I don't need park or gun kote services - I have that setup in my garage )

Nice reviews Glenn.

When are you going to be ready to build your own(FAL)?

The FALfiles are great!I don't get there much unless I'm sent there or looking for something,I haven't had the money to play FAL lately.
FWIW,I have the gunplumber FAL video/book and a Bushmaster AR15/M16 armorers video.If you want to check them out LMK.Re-barrelling an AR is easy watch the vid and read the manual,I have the tools.

Not to hijack the original AK inent of this thread, but if you guys need FALS built.  Do I have a guy that is fantastic down in South Florida.  $75 builds (Finish - You're on your own - Or you could bring a 12 pack and some gun kote over by me and we'll work something out. )  I've used him for 3 builds for me and 1 for a friend.  He has a great Rep over on FAL Files.  I also have than Gun plumbers video - Great information for take down, minor repairs, but I'll leave the crowing, timing, etc to the pros..  I value my face...

I think it was an RSA trigger.  I still have all the records somewhere.  Build price, including repark, all mods, return shipping was around $200.  There are probably people who are cheaper, but no one I know who's better.

He also built 2 FAL's for me.  I sold the G1 build, but still have my first Imbel, which was shortened and had the original flash hider installed after the AWB expired.

I'd be very interested in the video on the AR-15 rebarrel.  IM on the way.
