Goes to show, with a little resourcefulness, one can make an excellent looking build. No need for expensive toolings and such. Nice job!

It shoots real well. I put about 100 rounds through it and it didn't jam once. I fed it will three different mags to make sure it was gonna work good. It even liked the drum mag. My mak90 will jam every once in a while with the drum mag. 100 rounds isn't alot yet but so far, so good.

I used a oxy/ace torch. just did the rails and the hammer and trigger pin holes.
15, she'll be glad to hear that. Keep guessing. |

How did you mount the rails for the bolt carrier ? I also do not have a spot welder so I would like to know. P.S. Your wife looks like 10-12 in the state pen...  J/K She is very cute .... 21 ?

I drilled holes in the receiver and in the rails and plug welded it with a 110v flux core mig welder. I tried a test piece first just drilling the reciever but I couldn't get enough penetration. The receiver holes were .25 and the rail holes were .125. After that I dremel tooled it smooth. I got the Idea from a guy on here or one of the other ak forums. I put a punch against the end of the rail and hit it pretty hard and it didn't give. You can look inside at the holes in the rails to see how good a bite you got.
You are making my wifes day. Keep guessing |

Hey Hellbilly?
Let me know how it works when your wife finds out that we all have been guessing her age ranging from 15 to 25, and you were like "you are way off", "gosh, try again", "try again, you are getting closer"! I personally would have lied on my wife's behalf and said "Yep, she is 25, good job guys!" (btw, my wife is 30-*cough* sumthin'. Anyhoo! Your wife is 27... that is my final answer!
