I have a box full of AK flats that I bent up before October 1 so I want to start setting up my shop to have all the needed tools to finish them by myself.

This weekend I bought a 20-Ton Press and spot welder from Harbor Freight Tools in Fredericksburg, VA. I also ordered from AK Builder the tongs for the spot welder.

I still have the park setup as well. I am almost done tuning the rails on all of mine and will be ready for park and paint probably this weekend. I can set the grill up as an oven to bake parts.

Let me know. I'll come down to wherever you are to park my soon-to-be-SBR.

We might need a finish party at mine or TC's. We are deep in the heart of SMIBville.

Southern MD InBred. West Virginia was originally settled by So MDers. That is why you see most of the same names on the towns.

Hey all, I'm new to the concept of builds, but I have more interest in building an AK than an AR, if only because the tolerances are greater. I would be really interested in attending the next build party you all get together for.

Is it generally accepted that it's easier to go with a flat than we a pre-bent 80%.
Thanks all,

Late to the party. Cannot build a banned rifle until you possess the lower before 10/1.

receiver, not lower. AK doesn't have a lower.

You got me. But you did know what I mean

build all you want.....but you can't start until you no longer reside in MD.

Could just save some money and buy and Hbar

you really should hang out in AR-related forums instead of the AK build thread.

unless you know where to find a MD-legal HBAR AK....

(he's asking about building an AK...hence the statement about flat vs. pre-bent blank....and posting it in the AK build party thread.)

 

[stu929]

He said he would prefer to build ak over ar but if he cant build one I thought maybe he may want a purchase option.

I plan to build an AK with a lower I worked in your presence. That's why I come here ;-)
