Ak build party?

[armed ferret]

When you coming by? We could plink at the Christmas Forest. I should have the mag support rails trimmed later.

i'm looking to do full-on load development with the SPR and the 7-08, so i'll probably just go to the range for that. i can save some x39 for the M92 and let you give the new trigger a feel. i may end up using it for a couple other guns; dry firing it's NICE.

probably tomorrow or friday afternoon, depends on how my back's feeling (gotta do PT at least once more this week, but it's not been the best with the back, so if it's bad, i'll just go shoot instead ). i'll drop you a PM on here tonight or tomorrow morning.

My remaining flats should get here today.

Ho do I go about getting the pieces that need to be welded? Or is there something else I can use?

Thanks!

Well S!@# guess I will have to wait to do the rails but at least I can get things drilled and heat treated I guess.

Thanks!

I'm not setup to do 80% lower hole drilling, but I am setup so you can put a single hole in them and make them a receiver.

they heard i was in town.

Sorry she's not available for the build party but we may be able to arrange a meet and greet for this purpose.

Any chance of a reciever recognition gathering?

i just photographed and posted to facetube.

you could also just take a few digital pics, and email 'em to yourself with a brief description. date/time stamp on the email serves as your proof.

 

[hvymax]

I took pics and emailed myself. I also made a document including pic about the existence of prototypes so the notary doesn't have a spasm.

 

[awptickes]

I posted pictures of everything to FB. I got a lot of "What's that?" questions from people.

 

[stu929]

FB here as well. Sure I will get a lot of questions

 

[armed ferret]

My fb photos included a lovely diatribe regarding where our esteemed governor can find himself some reliable storage for farm implements which have oxidized.

Stamping the inside of the receivers taking pics and getting the neighbor to notarize my ass-covering packet tonight. Also doing a few emails for backups.

WOOO!! Late to the post but had a great time at AWPTICKES' house, a most gracious host! I am total crap with names, but thanks to reciever bending jig guy and hydraulic press guy, and other guy who brought chips and sodas. And everyone else for being cool. Learned alot (I only bent my receiver) watching everyone weld on rails, HT extractors, and headspace barrels, didnt do any of that because A-didnt have anything like rivets and stuff and B-wanted to watch everyone else go through pitfalls and trial and error before doing it myself.

I was the guy with the moustache

i was press guy. also known as "hey everyone that metal's really hot, don't touch it yet!" guy.
