Noice, a Yugoslav kit I'm assuming?

I'm the FAL with a shitty trigger guy.
I clipped the spring back around a coil to a could and a half and now it works great on setting number 3, even going so far as to eat brass.

So.
Folks. Check the tension/pressure on your triggers when you get a kit. Apparently some are overpressured.
Also, ynfucking a carcano.

Got this fat-fuck all put together and shot it recently. Fit the slide and all the internals; took me about 10x longer than I'm willing to admit, but I just worked on it during the friday nights and saturday mornings.

Oh, and IDK wtf is up with the grip in that picture, it's not dicked up now.

>>34631080
So you finally got a rear sight?

What's a good project to start on for someone looking to get into more "in depth" gunsmithing, but who has very, very little experience?

I've done some of the babby tier stuff, like AR's, replacing sights/springs, trigger kits for various pistols, revolvers, and rifles, but that's all pretty much bolt on stuff and I realize it's not really terribly difficult or technical.

I'd like to actually build my skill set, not just churn out a bunch of hobbled together garbage and call myself a gunsmith.

>>34631080
huh, are those receivers considering 80%s? I don't know anything about 1911s.

>>34631130
have you done a barrel assembly on an AR? I'd say the next step up is drilling out an 80% lower, or maybe an AK build. AKs are completely different and require a lot more skill than ARs, but they also require more specific tooling

>>34630923
Dude what the fuck are you taking about?

>>34631151

I was kind of leaning towards an AK. What is availability/pricing like on parts kits and such? Still decent, or am I doing it for the love of the hobby at this point?

>>34631130
Like the other anon said.
AR upper build.
Then rig up an AK (you might want to buy the AK kit before you do the barrel build though; they're getting quite expensive now)

>>34631153
remember the rule
>only summerfags say summerfags.

so we already know where he comes from

>>34631169
Parts kits are solely for the love of the hobby at this point man, unless you've got a mill and shitloads of experience welding in which case pistol caliber carbines made from old open bolt SMGs are a possibility.

got an m70 AB2 that won't feed. the mag well is too short for the bolt carrier to pick up the round. what do?

Anyone have any good resources for 1911 building?I think that could be something great to add to the pastebin

>>34631151
>>34631169
>>34631174

I should say, when I say I've done AR's, I mean I've built a few complete guns. 1 22lr SBR, 1 9mm SBR, 1 556 SBR, and a plain jane 556 gun, uppers and lowers for all.

>>34631183

That's kind of what I figured. I know I'm getting in the game late at this point.

>>34631189
>mag well is too short
You mean deep?
Have you tried different mags?
I mean, the magazines lock in properly, right?

Do you have pics?

>>34631202
Current best price on an AK parts kit.
http://whatacountry.com/romanian-ak-47-parts-kit.aspx

No tooling, barrel, or receiver included.
The tooling (aside from a shop press and a drill press and headspace gauges) can be rigged from a tool steel bolt.
Fuck anyone who says it can't, my AK is proof it can.

Deep is a better term yes, and pics don't properly show it. I've tried it with four different mags, and they all seat right. the bolt carrier scraps across the top and you can see scratching in the shitty polymer coated steel stuff I load it with where its trying to pull it up.

And before you ask, yes, I've tried it with different amounts of ammo in the mags

>>34631224

Neat, thanks guy. I'll have to look into this venture a bit more. One thing on the list was always an SBR'd 7.62x39 gun, but I'd originally planned buying one of those goofy barreled Arsenals and chopping it.

>>34631169
right now, they are only slightly cheaper than buying your own AK. usually like $100 less, or possibly the same price.

Most of the people into building Aks are collectors who need their builds to be artistically correct. I know of one person on this forum (flandre) who's like that and will spend $2000+ on builds just to make sure they are correct to the T just to make it is identical to the original military rifle.

that's what's become of the hobby

her is one for 250

>>34631263

Lol yeah, I had it for a while but they oversized it by 0.020", which is a good bit for a fine tooth hand file. I'll admit there were a few fuck ups along the way but i think the important parts are done decently. Will be a uspsa limited and ill use the g20 for production

>>34631248
So...it's just not stripping rounds out of the mag?
Is the bolt getting hung up on the feed lips?

>>34631269
>I.O. reject guns

The story behind these kits goes as follows.

I.O. INC makes new manufacture AKs with parts who they buy from the lowest bidder: basically, cast parts with terrible quality. Many of those parts are imported from Korea, then machined in the states and then labeled "100% U.S. made"

After they are made, they sell them cheap af, give them a "lifetime warrenty" as it's cheapest to just sell them in shit quality, take back any rejects sent back by customers that do not work and they cannot fix, and then cut them up to be re-sold as parts kits, liability free.

They make money selling shitty guns to the customer, and they make back any money from shitty guns that are sent back as parts kits.

It's a win-win situation for them but the person who LOSES is the person who buys their parts kits.

>>34631301
resources on building 1911 plz

>>34631135
No, still serialized and requires a transfer. Just grinding and lapping the frame and slide together, then a lot of work for everything else. This gun literally cost me 3x what I thought it would, going in. $130 magazines (each, and you need 3), $400 in specific 1911 gun smithing parts, etc.

you sure the magazine is being held up properly? sounds like the mag catch isn't holding it up high enough

>>34631388
I just pushed up a little on the mag and it fed perfectly. we've identified the problem, now what do I do keep it held up?

>>34631360
please try once more with the bolt pulled back behind the rim of the cartridge.

Preferably butted up against BUT NOT ACTIVELY STRIPPING the round from the magazine.
It's shaping up to just be a problem with the magazine not having enough pressure to keep up with the bolt.

>>34631409
There really isn't anything you can do about that except purchase a new trigger guard and rivets, pop off the old one and rivet the new one in place.

Would anyone be interested in merging this with the CAD thread? Could be a last bastion of decent discussion on this board.

>>34631376
Lol. I'm keeping the tools for another eventual build, but not for profit.

>>34631372
Yeah, I gotta just get out shooting more! This has been a fun process though.

>>34631416

No you just need to buy a new magazine paddle. there is a rivet that holds it in place, you can grind and punch it out, change the paddle out with a new one, and that should work. you don;'t need to replace the whole trigger guard

>>34631424

Nothing major, but definitely a much needed improvement. Can't wait to try it out on the range this week.

Also installed a new recoil spring and extractor on my inglis browning hi power a few weeks ago. The new extractor completely cured the failure to extract issues, and the spring is insurance in case I accidentally shoot some excessively hot loads.

>>34630930
I'm working on a Carcano right now. Got it for $40 a while back. Accuracy marked. Has been sporterized. Pretty sure it's just a regular 1891/41 and not a Cavalry Carbine.

Once I get the bolt rebuilt (it was stripped when I got the gun), I'm going to see how it shoots. If it shoots really well, I'll probably just make a sporter out of it, otherwise I'll get a factory stock and restore it to original condition.

>>34631130

MAC 10, imo. If you get pissed off at it, you can always buy an upper assembly pre-done, though the entire thing isn't much to it at all.

I have never built a gun before, so I decided to dive ass deep and im building a 9mm ak74 conversion using pps43 mags and magwell. Any advice? Bought childers FCG drilling guide, should i video the build and put it on youtube?

>>34631183

>tfw grabbed a couple of old saw cut kits at a gun show last year.

Got a hell of a bargain too. Usually saw cuts go for a fuckton nowadays. The big thing that hurt the parts kit industry was ATF decided that barrels had to be demilled prior to import, and they did this after the AWB sunset since surprise surprise more people started building from kits since the laws got uncucked.

i am currently debating between an RIA ""2011""" 9mm and a CZ Shadow 2

would be fun gun for the most part, but also considering getting back into comp shooting

so far my stash of ~22 guns (includes NFA goodies) is lacking:

>CZ (sold mine a while back and regret deeply)
>1911
>shotgun (yes really)

it also doesnt help that i STILL have two fuckin AK flats sitting in my safe completely unfinished (and sitting in a bag of oil), theyre spot treated, considering doing 5.56 tantal on one and bulgarian 5.45 on other, was going to do krinkov but after much research, buyin an arsenal is fuckin cheaper

>>34631772
another thing that hurt kits bad is ATF's req's for demilling/destroying on receivers changing to 4 cuts with a fuckin torch

>>34630902

I have a demilled Yugo M92 (2003manufactured) that I would love to build but I have no experience whatsoever building. Anyone up for a build party in North East?

>>34630902
Can someone tell me what's the easiest 80% ak receiver to use?

Working on a sten mk3
It's going very poorly.
Can I just hammer in rivets? I do not have a riveting device.

>>34633837
Depends on what tools you have. I built all of mine from flats, not having to locate the FCG holes was nice. Still had to ream them to size, but the chance of drilling them in an incorrect location was taken out of the process.

>>34633787
Drill for firing pin, modify FCG to semi only (already has a semi setting so easy)add striker and spring (main recoil spring is up front so it won't interfere) weld up the receiver. Plan to order a tube and anything else I need this week.

>>34633840
Just buy the hammer in rivet things from Indianapolis Ordinance

>>34633866
At home i have a drill press, a few power tools and a rivet gun, I have Access to a friend's mill and all the tools at the machine shop I work at but it's mainly just brideport Mills and a few punch presses.

>>34633828
mugi is doing good, recovered very well. Baby came out to 10lb, so heavy af but very healthy, so everything is going perfectly!

Been working mostly on other projects rather than AKs, as I pretty much had most of what I want AK wise, only thing AK related i'm working on right now is the RPK-74M
>>34633837
personally i prefer 100% heat treated blanks, all you need is a drilling jig fixture and a spot welder, and the drilling fixtures are cheaper than bending jigs

I don't see the point of flats unless you have heat treatment setups, flats have to be heat treated after bending so you can't buy them pre-treated. In the past people would spot treat the FCG holes, but with the price of kits today, having a shitty spot treated receiver is kind of throwing money in the garbage.

Why save $30 on your receiver when you paid $400 for your kit? that $30 is like one day at the range, where as a quality receiver will help it last a lifetime.

personally I just recommend buying the receivers over at Atlantic for $60. They are 100% complete and heat treated. Same quality as Nodak ones (as they both get the receivers from the same company).

>>34633881

you need mid sections to re-weld them up?

Maybe a goat, maybe a chicken i don't know. Since I live here at MOfest I just have to drive around a bit and see what people are selling for animals. Mostly wanna do it so we can show people what to do/have some sort of learning environment thing going on. OR just feed the lazy fags who don't bring food every goddamn time. Congrats on the babby again though! Give mugi-fuu a squishing for me plis. I still have yet to do such

>>34633910
That's a really good point, I spot treated the holes on my first receiver and built a kiln that probably violated every electrical code possible for my next three. I also had my friend with access to a machine shop help fab up a jig to prevent warping. All of their trigger and hammer pin holes are somehow still concentric to the naked eye, but I've seen pictures of plenty that have egged out due to poor heat treatment.

>>34633999
nice trips, and yeah if you have the heat treatment setup, then you can save a few shekels doing it yourself, and have a receiver that'll hold up.

for anyone without that though, and want to build their own, it's better to go pre-treated blanks.

>>34633956

Any chance you could help out or point to someone who could?

Separate from that project is my other one, figuring out if building an Uzi or PM-63 would be easier for someone with access to a dremel and hand tools, and nothing else. Can't be using the gun co. since they only want to do the 92FS custom job.

Anyone have any ideas on how to make a magazine cutoff for a winchester 94?

I know but it's cast model so no one fucking cares.

What's the best way to get into parts kits? I know gunsmithing, machining, and welding so I have the necessary skills. I hear sten guns? Or should I jump into something more complex?

>>34636056
AR15

>>34635056
WEW lad, Plz don't mig weld a receiver like that. Mig produces a very brittle weld that is prone to fracturing when exposed to repeated stress like a gun firing. You really need to tig the receiver together especially in a semiauto 54r rifle.

>>34636063
Fuck that. I've built two of them and it's stupid baby easy. Literally zero gunsmithing skills involved. I'm definitely past that stage.

>>34636080
AK?

>>34636067
TIG it with filler or just fuse the two parts of the receiver together?

>>34636095
I might try that. Is it better to get a cut AK receiver or to bend a flat?

>>34636056
Stenguns are arguably more technically complicated than something like an AK kit becasue they require fiddling with everything to make it a closed bolt on a mostly handfit gun.

If you really want a money and time sink for a gun no one has do a Galil build.

>>34636098
people do it all the time on weaponeer and don't have issues. The only parts that really matter are the breach area. As long as you don't have to weld that up the rest should be fine to weld up with mig.

>>34636106
blank receiver or 100 % receiver,

only re-weld milled guns

>>34636047
NO DONT DO THAT
>>34636075
Do some research senpai. There's a reason mig is never used outside of welding up shitty fucking garbage cans.

Jesus Christ it's like k wants to build exploding guns.

>>34636150
weaponeer my dude. Mig works my dude

>>34636189
weaponeer is broken, i think you mean weapons guild, but yeah lots of guys mig-ing their shit together without any issues.

>>34636098
Yes, if your repairing a piece of metal that been cut you need filler wire. I think I'm gonna make a video or something explaining how to properly weld a demilled reciever but you pretty much want to bevel the cuts and select a filler wire as wide as the cut (even if it's only 1/16 of an inch) and use it for your root pass to close the gap. Then fill up the rest of the notch with overlapping welds. If you just squirt metal in with a mig gun your shits gonna explode.

>>34636150
>>34636067
I don't see the issue either. quality mig machines make very good and strong welds. If we are talking about re-welding huge and overengineered 1/4in receivers back up, it should hold just fine.

Consider that Veprs and PSL rifles have 1mm stamped sheet metal receivers and hold just fine. Re-welding with MIG is still much stronger and wayyy ticker than those.
guys who do rewelds with mig on the forums seem to have no issues, and even the big names who Tig never tell the hobbiests not to mig their projects...

>>34636150
On my DPM I had overlapping receiver pieces, cut them to match flush with one another, beveled the edges, miged it up. Seems to work fine.
If they do break I can just re-weld ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

never done Tig, but my mig seems to work great. Using a good machine too, gas shielded, none of that fluxcore crap.

If mig does prove to break, I can always learn to tig and at some point in the future, re-weld.

I'm very new to guns and I enjoy building and tinkering with things. Where's a good place for a beginner to start? Buy a 10/22 and start piecing something together? Install a trigger kit for my pistol? Buy a really easy rifle kit? AR?

>>34635723
use aluminum tape to cover the receiver with a shitton of release compound next time

>>34636400
10/22 is an easy start, so is AR-15, then go up to barreling an AR-15.

FALs are easy af.

starts getting more challenging when you get into AKs and then even more so when re-building open bolt guns into closed bolt guns

>>34636048
Depends on how aesteic you want it

Cutting a very thin slot to insert a block will work but require you to have a chunk of sheetmetal hang out the side whenever you have the magazine open.

a button to block the lever from opening all the way will work but might be unreliable as you are pretty much preventing full extraction by essentially forcing a shortstroke.

If you really want to go crazy making a lever like the lebel has would be the most ideal but that would be a professional job that will exceed the cost of the rifle.

>>34636400
Get a cheap ass single shit break action shotgun like an Ivers-Johnson champion or something similar for 100 bucks. Get a set of brass punches and completely disassemble it. Learn how it works.

>>34636356
Maybe I'm being kind of autistic about it but the problem with mig (regardless of how clean and well executed the welds are) is the weld itself cools a lot faster than the metal around it so the metal is already holding stress around the weld and is in a brittle state. It may hold for a while but after several hundred or thousands of rounds it will eventually show signs of stress fracturing. Tig doesn't have this problem which is why it's used for things that take constant stress like aircraft frames or pressurized pipes or firearms. Maybe your welds will hold for a long time but eventually they are gonna break.

>>34636424
The hardest part of building a FAL for me was remembering the handguard retaining ring before tightening the barrel. I had similar problems when I was building AKs too.

>>34636499
Also it depends on how you want it to work, a block of the magazine tube is very easy but any solution that has one on the lifter is going to involve have to involve a small piece of steel taking the brunt of the lever stroke and forcing you to stop short of a full stroke

I want to convert a gen 3 G32 to 9mm.

Am I correct in understanding the most direct conversion would be to get a gen 3 G19 complete slide assembly and a 9mm ejector?

Also, sometimes the mags don't drop and they can't be pried or pulled out, so it seems the mag catch isn't releasing. What needs to be looked at/replaced?

I got the gun at an absurdly low cost because there's no 357 SIG in my area and the previous owner didn't want to put the money into converting it.

>>34636546
well, maybe by the time they start cracking I'll have learned to tig and then I can just tig em back up.

>>34636563
since I use the hand-guard retainer to help with alignment, I've never had that problem lol

>>34636581
Why not stick to a superior cartridge?

>>34636598
I can afford 357 SIG, or 40 with a simple G23 barrel swap. I just don't want to always have to order ammo online.

I may get a G23 barrel and call it a day, though.

Any insight on the mag issue?

I used it to line up the barrel with the trunnion, took it off for the RSB, then just used the gas tube for lining up the gas block. That was my first build, I made lots of mistakes on that rifle but somehow it works just fine.

The video is an old pistol that uses an odd mechanism in which you pull the barrel back to chamber and fire it, instead of moving a bolt. What forces would be acting on the barrel upon firing? Would it be pushed forward or back?

The AK is truly forgiving in design. God I still remember my first build. That was back when it was still socially acceptable to use screws since kits were so damn cheap no one cared.

Thing was the worst looking gun on the face of the planet and the damn thing still fucking worked

>>34640479
people that harp on screw builds don't know anything about material strength or properties

screw builds are fine. IF you use the right screws

>>34640532
eh, I still argue against them, and that's coming form someone who did many back when everyone was doing them.

I've used grade 8 screws, and had some crack or sheer after a thousand rounds, that or start egging the holes on the receiver.

and anything softer starts to bend and then your trunnions shift position on the receiver.

I mean, kits are now like $400, and the cost of riveting really isn't that expensive considering you can do them with modified bolt cutters even.

I just grabbed a pair of CETME C parts kits off Apex for shits and giggles and having never built a gun before* am I an idiot for deciding to go this route on my first gun build?

What about buying a $300 tig welder from Harbor Freight and teaching myself how to patrician weld in the process?

*I do have 3 years of experience with sheet metal work and welding, the ability to make purdy dimes with gas-shielded mig is just about the only thing of value I got from my art degree.

That said, right now I'm leaning on building the rougher internals and better furniture of my two kits into a PTR-barreled field grade Cetme C replica for 1950's a e s t h e t i c plinking, and throwing the better internals into a clone build of a late-generation G3 with A3/A4 polymer furniture for that late 70's/80's battle rifle a e s t h e t i c, possibly as a G3SG/1 clone with a hammer forged barrel or an OG HK poly-rifled one if the piggy bank allows it.

>>34630902
What's the best school to go to if i want to learn Gunsmithing?

>>34645341
iirc, FAL's like any other machined reciever gun go together more or less like legos, while the stamped guns like AK's G3/Cetme's, etc tend to be more involved from a metalforming/welding perspective.

>>34645240
Nothing.

>>34645348

No and that's not really gunsmithing either.

>>34646135
Bluing isn't gunsmithing? You a dumb dummy.

>>34646188
It's rather passive and not particularly important hence why it's called finishing in the trade, not smithing.

>>34646225
That's pretty damn semantic. Everything is called something besides gunsmithing. You're always finishing or inletting or case hardening or repairing etc. Nobody is like "hey, I'm about to go gunsmith this rifle".

"A gunsmith does factory level repairs, renovation (((such as applying metal finishes))), and makes modifications and alterations for special uses. Gunsmiths may also apply carvings, engravings and other decorative features to an otherwise finished gun."

>implying I can't do that shit.
I do metal fab professionally. I'm just saying that slapping together a parts kit certainly takes some skill but if you aren't also making custom stocks from wood blanks, chambering and threading barrel blanks, restoring pitted metal to factory finish, checkering, engraving, color case hardening, hot salt bluing, accurizing rifles, lapping bolts, machining your own parts and tools, and so on, then you really just understand an aspect of gunsmithing and not the trade as a whole. I'm not trying to be a gatekeeper and I'm not claiming to be some master. I'm just saying if all you do is slap parts together and have open disdain for the traditional skills of the trade, then what does that make you? Once again, not trying to be a dick.

Hey, I've heard you can get rid of dings in metal by disrupting the metal back with a punch, I've got an old revolver that used to have timing issues that got fixed but now has pockmarks in the cylinder from the firing pin, how to I peen those out?

ever convert a DPT mag to fit a VEPR ?

>>34648332
I've never heard of doing that to be honest. Are the dents partially in the cylinder bores? Im assuming its rimfire?
You could remove the burrs with a needle file if you feel confident enough to do that. I'd be worried about just making it worse with a punch. Of course, if you go at it with a file, you'll probably want to refinish the whole cylinder which can be a pain since it needs to be done mostly by hand. You can't really use buffing wheels without washing it out and putting flat spots on it.

I don't have a ton of experience with revolvers. I usually see dents on shotgun barrels and magazine tubes which can be removed using a mandrel and a shop press or this roller tool used in conjunction with a lathe.

>>34649780
In a way I do I suppose, but to tell you the truth eventually working on guns became more or less a chore, as opposed to something fun.

It's labor intensive, and you have to appease customers, and I'm talking about a shit ton of just idiots, rednecks, and dumbasses. most annoyingly so the ones who want you to do illegal shit.

Made a lot of money when it was big, especially panic and post panic, but eventually things died down, and there was more money in the field I actually got a degree in rather than smashing on parts kits everyday all day.

I find it more enjoyable to work on my own guns in my own time.

I was able to become successful building by gaining a reputation in my local community, which eventually spread around the region I worked in. Just doing good work and people spread your name around like wildfire.

Being knowledgeable and being able to properly build firearms to exact military specs and emulating every small detail for period correct builds, or country of origin correct builds really helped.

I supposed it was a series of factors that allowed me to be successful during the time I worked the field.

>>34652282
Reddit spacing is a false meme.

Adding a space between every few sentences makes reading faster and easier.

Just because reddit is a primarily english site doesn't make my post leddit language.

There are much worse things to come from that site than just paragraph formatting.

>>34652282
Double spacing between paragraphs isn't Reddit spacing, it's normal english formatting to break up paragraphs
>>34652302
This is Reddit spacing, the breaks between every sentence make reading slower and does nothing but make it appear the person wrote more than they did.

>>34652302
It's not so much the spacing itself that triggers me, it's the fact that they are a plebbit user

Yeah, but a mini-mill isn't automatic and doesn't so everything you want from it at the push of a buttan recieve bacon.

You don't seem to understand that convenience is something people are extremely willing to pay a lot, LOT of fucking money for. If you want people to have more guns, make it easier to have them, not cheaper. Anybody can shore up some cash. Learning is a true challenge. That's why the GG is blooming and earning Cody Wilson so much money.

>>34652415
But Vice news told me he gives away all his guns for free because he's a crypto-anarchist. Have I been bamboozled?

>>34652545
What? Who the fuck said that? He give the plans away for free, or tried anyway, and then got dickslapped by ITAR. You can buy the toolpaths for a CNC to mill out AR-15 lowers from him for like 20 bucks on an USB stick. It's the only way he can legally get that shit to people. If yoiu want 3d-printable gun designs, look for FOSSCAD.

Anyone have a source on where to buy/ how to rivet an AK screw build using those larger rivets.

Also, is this method a waste of time? As in the larger rivets diminish the gun's durability or whatever you want to call it?

Any help with improving vz.58 trigger, other than polishing? Is there any way to get nice proper "break" to it?

>>34653628
Hard to improve striker fired guns without changing sear angles and that's asking for trouble if you don't know what you are doing but a bit of polish will help a bit.

If the notches are bad enough they won't work on a rimfire I don't think there's much saving that revolver short of welding and re-cutting them.

Only other solution I can think of is shimming them with epoxy and faced with carbon steel shimstock

>>34656262
had another thought, if you have a milling machine you can make a very small dovetail and braze or solder steel inserts and then carefully mill it out to time it right

>>34631764
>should i video the build and put it on youtube?
PLEASE do this

>>34656459
why not just use a ball endmill?

>>34656981
Don't see how a ball endmill will work when you need a 90 degree angle for the cutout

>>34656981
You definitely can't cut a dovetail with a ball endmill.

I'm putting together an AMD-65 kit, with screws.
Roast me or give me tips please.

what about A/N screws? grade 8 aint shit compared to A/N. you cant use grade 8 on aircraft, but you can use A/N.

>>34658297
you do realize there's a reason Kalashnikov never used screws on the original design right? The AK flexes and bends every time it is shot.

it NEEDS to be flexible, the rivets need to be able to move around. Screws are too hard. They will eventually crack

>>34659644
regular screws shear, A/N flex.

I've just had bad luck with screws in the past and it's just as easy to rivet in today's building world, considering all the OG barreled kits are gone and kits sell for as high as they do.

Definitely the Uzi. All I used was a dremel on mine, only tool you really need -- if you buy a FA Trigger group which requires a quick tack weld of a blocking bar in place to keep it from switching to full giggle. If you buy a SA Trigger group, you don't need it at all.

I just wanted to the FA Hebrew on mine and did it. Borrowed a friend's stick welder. Took all but 4 minutes.

>>34648847

If you have a MIG welder and a decent amount of skills, it's cake. If you don't have a MIG or access to a friend with one -- buy it pre-welded. It isn't hard. But it's a lot of money down the drain if you fuck up.

Also, feel free to ask me any questions about Uzi builds. I refuse to trip but just summon me as "Uzibro" in future /gg/ threads. I'd absolutely love to help you, this was definitely my most favorite build.

>>34665055
>FA
ATF pls

>>34665104

FA groups are fine to own. You just have to weld in a blocking bar to keep the selector from actually switching to FA mode. It's FA recievers/sears/bolts that must be registered.

Uzi SA builds use a SA Receiver, SA Sear and SA Bolt and are extremely hard to convert back to FA. The trunions and dimensions are even slightly different than a FA receiver.

Study up, kid.

>Pic related is the blocking bar before I polished it up with the dremel

For some reason, it isn't letting me upload via mobile. I'll post it when I get home.

Uzis are really fun to build, not too hard if you buy the pre-fabed striker assemblies.

fun little guns for sure

>>34667755
Just start knocking pins and turning screws. Pay attention to how it all fits together. Take pictures with your phone if you have to. It shouldn't be too difficult.

>>34666960
Just the lower? Nothing. A small hammer and a brass punch if you're feeling fancy. You can put one together with just your hands.

>>34667736
I'd bet SMG Arms would do it

>>34667862
They stopped years ago. So has Midwest Metal, Project guns, and Kiwi.

>>34631190
wilson combat has good parts

>>34667926
Did they previously offer them built on kits they sold or have they stopped all custom builds from customer supplied kits?

Not sure who else would be trustworthy then...

>>34668071
All of those people and SMG use to offer kit builds. There is a guy called Len savage that is supposed to be a Bren guru but he doesn't have a website and I've never dealt with him so I am hesitant.

it's pretty easy you just need modified bolt cutters at the bare minimum. An actual rivet jig can be had for $150 from theakmachinist on the akfiles. I think if you just google his name the thread pops up.

Is investing time and money into building parts kits worth it? I do have a list of guns I want to have eventually (Sten, HK33, L1A1, etc). But it really looks like the market is drying up on parts kits as well as saturated by AKs, which after one I don't plan on getting any more.

Would I better better off in the long run just having a gunsmith do the work?

I just watched Ian's video on the Welrod (which i thought was fucking cool)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d12AjvEsaHg

which led me to finding a gun called the "sleeve gun" which looks pretty much the same but its single shot

http://www.timelapse.dk/thesleevegun.php
and I'm thinking about building a suppressed version but i was wondering if anyone knows if it would count a a AOW

as Ian says in the video it the welrod doesnt really look like a gun, and the "sleave gun" even more so

would it be considered a disguised firearm? are there any other guns that are similar in that they don't look like guns but arnt AOWs?

If it's an original full auto receiver that they were forced to allow in, it should just be two holes and the internal parts, I think.

The other ones have that block that you'd need to machine out to make room for the FA fire control bits.
