Anyone here ever build an AK from an 80%? I was considering doing

>>32898692
you need a shop press, rivet tools, possibly heat treating and welding depending on your receiver

>>32898692
You can buy an 80% receiver with the rails already welded and a populated barrel already pressed into the trunnion. You can hand file the holes and use screws.

You can also simply cut the necessary holes in the receiver and then send it off to be built from a parts kit. You then get the finished AK back in the mail.

>>32898707
So there are receivers out there were you just need to cut the appropriate holes?

>>32898735
They're hard as fuck to find. You're better off just plug welding the rails.

Roger.

Tool investment wise, what exactly am I looking at? Is pressing a barrel into the trunnion difficult?

>>32898847
have you ever even watched an AK build video?

>>32898901
I'm watching the usmcdoc series right now. So far it all looks pretty easy.

What is wrong with a weld build? I know how to weld so it seems not too bad of an idea.

>>32898981
You're likely to fuck it up.

>>32899056
I mean,what makes it likely to be fucked up?

>>32899066
Have you ever built an AK before?

>>32899073
No, but I don't see why a weld job would make me more likely to fuck it up than rivets or screws?

>>32899090
It isn't necessarily, but if you fuck up a weld build, you aren't going to be unscrewing screws or drilling out rivets to unfuck your gun.

>mfw been trying to start a thread over this exact thing for a week.

Thanks op.

Look up bfgmovies like this>>32898970
anon says, he's got a good few over building from kits in general, also MugiChan, but he kinda helps ((((her)))) so

>>32898919
I just skimmed through this guy's series and I didn't even see him headspace the gun.

>>32899189
That's cause you skimmed it. He explains how to headspace early on.
