| Does anyone in the tidewater area have experience building Aks and are willing to share their knowledge. Been thinking it would be fun to build a couple, but have no experience with this weapon. |

I offered a couple months ago to host a tidewater build party, I have most of tools needed to build ak's, and have built quite a few. I have a friend that is going to be coming over in a couple weeks to build 2, if anyone else would like to come over, it will not be a problem. email me at: [email protected] and we can get this planned. by the way, I live in norfolk, about 1/2 mile from harbor freight, so if we need any tools they are available close by. I have everything to build from a 100% receiver, including a tig/arc welder, blasting cabinet, and am able to apply duracoat. if you want a complete rifle/pistol when you leave at the end of the day, it should not be a problem. I do not have a press to bend flats, but I do have a bending jig, i haven't used it, but I have it if you would like to experiment with it feel free. If anyone would like to schedule a build party, let me know. BTW, I do rivet builds, I have a set of 36in modded bolt cutters that work great. Chris |

let bump this up to see if anyone else would like to come out to build some guns. As of 1/9/06 I have 3 people that would like to do some builds. No date has been set yet, but I might be free on the 15th, figure start early, say about 7-8am and work all day. Let me know if that will work for who, and if not, when you think would be a better day. Chris |

if you are looking at an AK kit, hell, it's an AK. As long as the bore is good, outside finish doesn't matter, I Duracoat all of them anyway, but that is just me. Chris EDIT!! Jan 15th is NOT a good day for the build. If ya'll want to get one organized, please get in touch with me. Hit me with some dates/date ranges and we can go from there. |
