AK Build

[my-rifle]

Standing by. I started a thread over on the "Meets And Events" forum. I hope some folks'll show up. It's good to meet LA, "firearms enthusiasts".

I'm going to try to fit the safety selector into that Yugoslavian M70 we were working on Thursday.

I just realized what you were doing sanding, Tim. I don't usually do the wood until last, but heck, why wait?

Da Wabbit

I just finished the major work on this guy this morning, so he'd be ready for tomorrow's shoot. He's a Yugoslavian M70AB2 underfolder, in 7.62x39mm, and so far he feeds and ejects well. We'll see how he does with the real thing tomorrow.

I built this one on a receiver blank. I cut out the magwell, trigger hole, axis pin holes, safety selector hole, and rivet holes, and riveted it together. It's my third underfolder, but my 1st Yugoslavian underfolder.

I call it, "Da Wabbit".

Good Morning Gentlemen! any one making it to the gun show in Kenner today

 

[my-rifle]

Hey Newt. The last time I went everything I saw cost more than the internet, and you had to pay taxes and an entry fee on top of it, so I don't make it too often anymore.

 

[#1bambam]

That things making me think about another yugo underfolder.

 

[BR 870]

Ok, well I have the Polish underfolder ordered. It'll be in the mail on monday.
Should I get a flat to build the uf on, or should I get an NDS receiver to build it on?

If you go with a registered reciever its transferable.

I am going to miss this build, but have already lined up help early in the next year Jan/Feb. You guys have fun and post pics of the works in progress and completed rifles.

Is this the most replied to thread in the history of bayoushooter?

 

[CajunTim]

The build will be at My Rifles in Metairie here is the link to the new thread

Man thats a bummer I was curious to see how many post this thread could get but I guess its over now that My rifle took over with his new post that he started about the build.

 

[CajunTim]

We can keep posting here then or whatever

I took your advice of spray stripping and this is what they look like how did I do?

That looks like brand new wood.Now get some dye and I like to use rustolium crystal clear enamel to finish it off.

Sorry #1Bambam. I just wanted to have a real list of the folks who were interested, and have it in a thread where people who monitored the Events and Meets would know where to go.

CajunTim, that spray-on stripper works better than just about any method I've tried.

No problem my friend.

So I got ordered some mags and to day and they came in. They appear to be in bad cosmetic shape for the most part.

What is one to do?
How do I take them apart?
Is there a way to identify them?
How do I clean them?
Can I mix and match parts?
Does anyone clean their weapons or mags with oven cleaner?

On the bottom you will see a square hole in it is the keeper.Press down on the keeper and slide the floorplate off the mag. body.BE CAREFULL KEEP AHOLD OF THE KEEPER WHEN REMOVING THE FLOOR PLATE.It will try to jump out of your hand and hit you in the eye.When doing this procedure it is best to treat the bottom of the mag like it was a muzzel.After you get them apart clean them with brake cleaner or mineral spirits or wd-40.As for mixing them clean them one at a time.No mix

 

[CajunTim]

Thanks to BamBam my kit is pretty much demilled.
