HK 91/ G3 flats on sale

[LowRecoil]

I just found out that Ohio Rapid Fire is selling brand new G3/ HK 91 flats on sale for $69 plus 10 shipping. That is a great deal if you have seen the cost of them recently. Their website is http://www.ohiorapidfire.com/ but they aren't listed there. You can email them at InfoORF@aol.com for more info.

Just out of curiosity what can you do with these flats? Seems like specialized tools and knowledge would be required to bend and weld them properly?

 

[LowRecoil]

Yes, you have to weld them. Bending is easy, welding is the trick. Not only do you have to weld the receiver, you have to weld the barrel/trunion in. Maybe someone here would step in and lend you a welder?

Found this for you guys. Looks to be a lot harder than an AK build.

It is. I have one built already. If you like shooting the 308, it's hard to beat. Otherwise you're looking and 450 or more just for a receiver if you want to build one of the FAL's.

It's not really that hard and no special tools needed I've done loads of them. Here is an easy way to do it. This isn't me, but a friend who can bend them as fast as a rabbit can multipy. See attached PDF file below the skill part is in the assembly of the weapon, but not out of the realm of a normal guy with good instruction. Years back when Jesus was a Corporal a bunch of us used to get together over a weekend and have build parties. Kind of like a Tupperware party, someone would bring a welder, another guy a mini-lathe and so on. One time it would be AK's the next time maybe HK's, it was a lot of winter time fun.
