I have pretty much all the build tools in McKinney, but only have a two car garage, so not enough room for a real build party. The biggest thing I am missing is a set of 5.45 headspace guages.
If mustang303302 wants to get a set (needed for a barrel swap), everything else is covered. |

I have bolt cutters and bucking plates for the short rivets, and a jig for the trigger guard and long rear rivets. Dont knock the bolt cutters, they leave perfect rivet heads when used with these bucking plates.

A local AFRCOMMER, microsuck, helped me demill my Romy-G kit. I have an NDS-3 receiver, AK-Builder rivet kit, and TAPCO G2 trigger group ready to go. All the numbers match on the kit. |

I wouldnt mind having a few guys over to build, but with limited space in a two car garage, it doesnt take long before people are rubbing elbows and waiting on tools, the press, etc...
Could probably do something late July/ early August. |

Sounds like we are getting somewhere now. We have all the essentials:
1. Beer 
2. Steaks 3. AK's I will buy the 5.45 headspace guages. Where can I get them? |

Its best to have a go gauge as well, but I have blown my fun money, and was already over budget. A no go will at least insure there isint a safety issue from excessive headspace, but like I said, its best to have both. Especially if replacing a barrel. I got mine from mansonreamers.com. |

Ok, I will get a go guage then. Does anyone happen to have any extra rivets? That is the only thing I am missing. If not I will get some to.

I like the AK builder rivets. They are the best fit by far, but take note that the center support and rivet are not included. I have some bulk rivets, but they are not "correct", especially for a 74.
I have never used a spot welder on my rails.. I just MIGem from the inside...again, far from correct, but that doesnt bother me. I finished these today. You can see the lack of spot weld rings if you look real close.

I will just buy a set of the correct rivets. I want to do this right anyway. My job should be relatively easy because I am not building a whole kit, just replacing a barrel and trunion. So what weekend would be good for everyone? How about the weekend of august 15-16, that will give everyone time to get in what we need.
By the way Cassini Im going to send you a P.M with my phone number |

That weekend is definatly not good for me. The following one will work...
Post up if your interested. Not to be an ass, but space is limited unless someone has more room. |

No ideas on a better location but I feel like this is kind of being thrust on Cassini. If you mind doing this then let us know and we can put things off until a better location is found. If its no big deal then I sure appreciate any help from you and your hospitality

I'm definitely in if you plan on the weekend of the 25th. I need to get at least one of my Romy-G kits done. I have one completely demilled with an NDS-3 receiver, AK Builder rivets, and Tapco G2 double hook trigger group ready to go. |

I am thinking we may be better off planning toward the end of August/ early September. This should give everyone enough time to get what they need. If your (seriously) interested, post up what your project is. It takes two days to build a flat into a receiver, then build the kit on the receiver...at least using my heat treat methods. A kit can be built on a complete receiver in a day.

I build my own receivers, but it takes a full day for a newbie to finish one. Also, my annealing method takes literally all night in the kitchen oven. Welding the rails takes no time. Most of the work is in the trimming of the upper rails, drilling the holes, and heat treating.

I have an M70AB2 underfolder kit, AK-builder rivet set, G2 double hook trigger, NDS-4 receiver coming this week as well as rear trunnion should be coming in this week and one part for the underfolder in the mail on monday.

I'd stop by to check everyone's builds out when you guys figure out a date. I'd like to see the flat bending process in person. You seem to have it down pretty damn well Cas. I'm probably the closest person to you... what 3 blocks away? heh... The only kits I have right now not built are milled yugos... Maybe I can get something before then...

I have nothing to order for this, so the exact day does not matter for me. Now that we are in August, I guess its time to set a date for September. If this is still gonna be at my place in McKinney, it will have to be on a Sunday, as I have stuff going on for the next several Saturday mornings.
Yall decide on what day is good. Everything is ready on my end, just need to straighten up the garage a bit. I am still not sure who/ how many plan to attend, which from my experiance half of those won't show... If someone wants to bend a flat that day, I dont have a problem with it, but there isin't enough time to build a receiver, then build on that receiver in one day. Milled rewelds are a whole 'nother story for a whole 'nother day!...I have another set of plates on order, prolly gonna go ahead and do the milled RPK with em... |
