you can do anything w/ a welder. just do it in phases so you don't heat up the trunion and mess w/ the temper they put on them. here is what i did w/ my AMD.

Thinking of building an AMD65 and want something better than the atrocious brake tubing stock that is on one. Did you weld right to the block that holds the stock tubing? Or did you go a different route? |

The front trunnion yes you definitely dont want to heat at all as it would anneal it to whatever degree that it was heated to. |

The front trunnion yes you definitely dont want to heat at all as it would anneal it to whatever degree that it was heated to. the recoil spring assembly relies on the rear trunion. i'll work on some close ups of the hinge for you guys, it's just a bit hecktic right now. it's not a show piece but works well for my intrest. it still uses the factory lock for open but has no lock for folded. i just cut 3 pieces of the tube folder and welded them on to create a hinge. |
