Kc8ard, (and timberghost) I'll make sure to get ahold of you if we end up doing a seperate party. I.M. me your info. I'll probably end up ordering a big bag of rivets for these other guys. Bryan, Do you still have e-clips (didn't you buy a bag?)? I'm trying to help these guys, but I am no pro, 1 build under my belt. My biggest problem is my home shop is not properly equiped, and my equiped shop is out of the question (right in the middle of kol's I don't need the heat). This build will be either 2 guys or a large group, does anyone have a material list and tool list already made up? I'm sure I could write my own, but I'm afraid I'll forget something and ruin the build party.
Thanks for the help guys. Anyone got the phone number for Robert LaPlante? I think that is the guys name, sets up around the middle of the pro shows. He normaly has a few receivers, had a screw build a few months ago, lots of surplus ammo/pouches ext., and some polish kits.
One last question in this post, Are the global trades receivers good ones? I built my yugo on a DCI and loved it, but have heard that most are not that well made. Reptilex72 if I do party it will likely be east of columbus. Any tools to make it easier would be welcome (as well as any experience brought along). I.M me with info so I can start making a list. I did my build with a big hammer and some home made tools. (I cheated with a press) I'd love to try out some of these rivet jigs.
