    Foursome?

    I have no-go gauges, and some other tooling like AK Builder jigs. I lack a good drill press or end mill and have some barrels that need gas ports drilled.

    Drilling the barrel pin is the key for me, I want to do it right and not go oversize.

    That's the main reason I haven't turned more of my kits/receivers into finished rifles.

    might work better.


    stu, it looks like there may be one in the spring. perhaps TC and I can coordinate and just do the party at his place. I like how I can volunteer him like that. :D

    Got my FB Radom barrel in today. Have to send it out to be threaded, but no biggie.

    Just got to pull the trigger on a kit this pay period.

    Anyone ever use the barrel alignment tool from requiem arms? A buddy of mine just ordered one

    I've been looking at those, but have a hard time justifying it. Would be interested to hear if it's any more convenient than flipping the rifle over and putting the sites on a flat surface.

    Looks like it's time to start studying HOW to build one.

    Parts kit order went thru today.

    Parts kit came in today, quite pleased with everything.

    Now the fun part, drilling out the rivets so I can scavenge the parts that I need.

    If you don't already own one, get the requiem arms advanced rivet drilling tool. Makes life much easier. The rivets actually fall out after drilling the hole. Wish I would have bought one a long time ago.
