Any ak builders out there? I have a few questions about a Bulgarian 5.45 I am building.
I am also looking for a builder. Have all the parts to build an AK47 Pistol, but none of the tools.
I am in the same boat
Awesome, I have a few questions regarding my first build and hopefully you can help me. Question 1, What is the best way to accurately measure all the barrel components and journals? Question 2, if I am 5 thou to big on my rear sight block how can I close that distance with out a lathe?
I have a decent set of calipers but i am worried i am not getting accurate measurements using them. From the measurements I got all the journals on the barrel are a bit to big. The gas block is 7 thou to small when I measured it. I dont have a lathe, so how should I go about closing that gap? Also what are you doing for the final finish on the rifle? I was thinking about doing a cold black oxide but i read it is not that durable. Might try to do a home phosphate job.
I am building a two 5.45's. I got the parts pressed in on one of them and the second kit I still have to demil. I still have to drill the pin hole which I am nervous about. Any advice?
