Southern Maryland AK Build Party - Part 4

[Bafflingbs]

Just got word a job I'm working got pushed back a week. I'm not going to make it, sorry I was really looking forward to this. Hopefully I'll be able to get up with you all another time!

Damn it dude! I think you're the only person I know, that has a more F'd up schedule than me. We'll meet sooner or later.

Your not lying! I had to take an unexpected week off a few weeks ago and that really threw off almost 3 months of my work schedule.

 

[tc617]

Invitations and directions went out today. Send me a PM if you did not get them.

 

[Bafflingbs]

Got it! Thanks!

I have .300 reamer need .314

I have a .314 reamer you can use. I will not be attending this party Saturday, as I will be going up to Northern VA. However, I can stop by on my way up that morning and leave the reamer with Tim. Do you need a barrel pin too? I have one in .315 as well.

 

[Bafflingbs]

Will there be someone there that can check head Spacing?

Never mind, reading is fundamental. I see there will be at least 2 people with the gauges.

Thanks man,leave pin just in case and we'll leave $ if we use it. I think this will be first build party I've been to with you not being there. So if I f something up worse than usual I'll blame you not being there

Damn it!

I'll keep an eye out for the next one.

 

[foodpoison]

[tc617]

I picked up a bunch of hot dogs, rolls, chicken, and a case of water and will fire up the grill around noon. See you guys tomorrow.

 

[wbw2123]

Have fun tomorrow guys. Really bummed I won't be at this one.

 

[hungryjoseph]

Any food I should bring? No 10 lbs of chicken like last year?

 

[Biggfoot44]

Burgers and sodas enroute also.

 

[Mdeng]

I will be there around 1 if my plans workout. I won't be building anything just stopping by to hangout with the cool kids.

 

[Bafflingbs]

It was great meeting you guys today. Thank you TC617, tell the nameless I said thank you too. And a especially SMDub! Thank you, thank you, thank you! You are my new best bud. With the help you guys gave me today, I fear a catastrophe was averted. Without you SMDub, I wouldn't now have a 100% reliable rifle. You are awesome! Great seeing you again MDeng. Nice meeting you Bigfoot and blacksniper. Thanks for the ammo, oh bearded one. Sorry I dropped your drum. Please forgive me, if I've left you out, I don't remember all the screen names. Ie. Bearded one, Asian guy and yelling guy! I'm glad you got your latch fixed.

 

[Bafflingbs]

Magic man SMDub, checking the headspace of my Century PAP, with a Polish double feed bolt. Sadly, it was a no go, at this point. The funny thing is, the factory single stack bolt, the rifle came with, is also a no-go. Century sucks!!!!!!

 

[Bafflingbs]

And the reason SMDub is now called magic man(in my book), is because of his knowledge and patience, it's now a go. Here he is filing the aftermarket Polish bolt I bought.

 

[Bafflingbs]

After we got it back together, I feed tested it with a full magazine. Man, it cycled like it was a stick of butter. The nameless then stepped the bolt of the extractor and firing pin, and helped me parkerize it in Tc's tank. When it was all done, I got to run it through its paces.

Absolutely flawless!

 

[Bafflingbs]

Here's the Beast from the East!

 

[Bafflingbs]

And, unless you've got these guys in your corner, stay away from the Century M70 PAP like this one.
