Southern Maryland AK Build Party - Part 3

tc617 · Jul 10, 2014

Planning an AK build party on September 13.

So participate in the poll, start gathering parts, posting what you plan to bring to the event (tools, jigs, and/or food) and hopefully Stevearado can come through with his awesome organizational skills and create a spread sheet for the event! :thumbsup:

I am, but you know the situation (texted it to you earlier). Maybe we should just work something out via text message instead.

smdub · Jul 13, 2014

I could be up for any of the days. I SHOULD have my 74 done by then (need to put the topend of my press back together to squash the last few rivets) but maybe Classic will have shipped my AK64D kits by then :sad20:

. I better not forget my parts this time so Im not demilling everyone elses kits

foodpoison · Jul 13, 2014

oh yea I am in. thinking about making a bastardize 47.

Robert2888 · Jul 13, 2014

Even though I don't have anything to build, could I still come to gain some experience?

SigMatt · Jul 13, 2014

Any and all of those days work for me. Need to press barrels in, rivet center supports, install FCGs, assemble furniture and test fire.

Thanks again, tc617!

I should be good for about any of those weekends. I plan to finish that Maadi I started.

MigraineMan · Jul 13, 2014

I'm hoping y'all won't point and snicker if I bring my 74 parts kit and a 223 barrel. Just finished turning the barrel journals down to fit my kit - the reasoning being that if this doesn't work out, I can revert to standard 74 trim by replacing the barrel.

The trunion barely starts, and measurements indicate that I'm +.003 on the press-fit. I feel good about that one. I over did it on the rear sight journal by about 2 thou, but if i had to screw something up, that's the one with the least stress applied.

MigraineMan · Jul 14, 2014

Dang! My credit card just jumped out of my wallet and purchased one of the AK63D kits from Apex. So yeah ... September.

it's a polymer folding stock. needs the aks-74 or aks-74u trunnion, hinge pin, and forward locking mechanism.

in other words, if you don't have all the hardware, you need this:

you'll also need to drill the front trunnion for the pin that retains the locking mechanism.

inshallah my f1 is approved by the build party, i can bring the bulgarian krink and show you what i mean.

Yeah but I will give this to the AMD-65...Out of all my AK folders that I own, it by far is the most comfortable folding stock to shoot.

do you have a 100 Series folder ?

tc617 · Jul 15, 2014

I am not 100% certain which stock you are referring too. Is it the polymer folding stock? If so, then no I don't have that one.
