I spoke with woody, another build party host, and he as well is looking to have a build party. It would be held around 2 weeks after mine. He is located in Santa Rosa. This will help those of you in that area, cannot make the date of mine, or if you just have more to build! Details should be up shortly or posted on the thread by woody himself. I just ask that if you have specific questions pertaining to build needs in Santa Rosa to please contact him rather than redirect the intentions of this orig. post. Thanks- Alex

From Woody:

Back to back build partys. I'd like to host an AK build party in Santa Rosa. I talk with Alex and am planning on host 1 or 2 weeks afters his BP. I was thinking this would give two location to choose from & or a place to finish up work if you didn't complete your build. As of today the 13,14,27 &28 are open dates for me. I will pick a date based on when and after Alex is having his.
Thanks Woodey

yo Alex, I'm down, prob do a flat just for the hell of it, then I can help out; Lemme know! The Sooner the better.

[tngay510]

ASAP please. itching to build mines with all the parts waiting to put together. preferably on a saturday too

[Dovii4ever]

Yeah Alex!!! My father and I would love to attend your party again!!!
I'll bring my 20 ton press and 3 dremils with accesories.
Any time in march is ok with me!

[timdps]

First half of March...

tim

[the_natterjack]

I'm interested. Don't have a clue what to do. You should bring band-aids

[50BMGBOB]

I need to park mine so count me in. I'll bring my compressor and press.

[oldyeller]

I should be good to go this time- also just made some fresh venison/pork jalapeno sausage to bring.

[MrNiceGuy]

Me down depending on date.
Will bring the usual jigs/tools.
Probably just hang out and shoot the crap.

[G-Man WC]

I be down pending date. I need to finish my first build for the boy and get mine done. Now that I have half a clue, I'll do the demill before hand. -g

[Alexthewelder]

Looks promising guys. I'll check some dates against weather and gun shows then pick or maybe start a poll looking forward to this one!

[69Mach1]

Alright! A NorCal/SoCal AK build-off in the month of March.

[247Nino]

middle March! woot!

[supra95tt]

I'll be there if it's on a Sunday (I can't get out of work on Saturday). I have tons of tools to bring....

[krispytapa]

i'm down to bend a flat and help out. and eat.

[lokote]

I shall be ready to throw it on the grill

[tngay510]

so ready for this build!

[JamesY]

North vs South BPs? Hmmmmmmmm.
I might be able to go. Mostly to eat and help, especially since the south is challenging us. Need details of your challenge, 69Mach1. What's at stake?

[jammer2k]

Interested but can't afford it currently. Once I can afford a nice 74 underfold kit of some flavor I will attend the next one.

BTW what is the going rate on a 74 underfolding kit?

EDIT: OK side a side or under, either is good for me at this point.....

[oldyeller]

Here is the only one I know of currently

http://www.atlanticfirearms.com/storeproduct846.aspx

[JamesY]

For a side-folding 74 (Romy, Polish, Bulgy, etc.), expect to pay from $280-$450.

[Alexthewelder]

Anyone got a amd65 for 250? I'll take it. Found one for 270 shipped but I don't wanna wait either.

Building a pistol? If not I have an extra Hungarian SA-85M kit if you're interested.

[Alexthewelder]

how'd you know?! lol yah Ive been pretty interested in doing one but im just wondering if im gonna like it or is it in reality just another toy...

whats the deal on the kit your talking about?.... we'll finish this via pm

[fermi]

Im in, the last one at duraglock's was a blast.

I cant wait!

Any date on Saturday is fine for me.

If anyone is doing a pistol build on an AMD-65 and does not want the stock/trunion PM me. I might be interested in doing buisness!

[dancinzen]

Can anyone join this? I would love to attend. I know nothing of this process and what parts I would need or what tools I could bring to contribute. But if I could I will attend... Please let me know... Thank you.

[Alexthewelder]

By all means join in. However, I am holding space priority to those that will be building. Best bet is to buy an ak parts kit(do a little research first), your receiver flat and compliance parts(from duraglock), and the rest is here.

[Thrasher416]

Count me in. Need to finish the build I started at Duraglock's party. I'd definitely prefer mid March.

How much is the building fee going to be?

[tngay510]

i am bringing a friend with me that isnt on calguns. he is looking forward to finish up his project too

[Alexthewelder]

Ive discussed the fees with woody, who is going to be hosting a bp a week or two after mine , and I'm pretty sure the fees will be 30 for builders 12 for spectators(accompanied with a builder) this includes food and drink. the price will be the same at either event.


Tn- you should get your friend to sign up!

[tngay510]

he is on, just dont post or anything. just to check out the marketplace.

[Alexthewelder]

oh ok cool


also, I will most likely be doing a raffle again.got to think of some new cool things to raffle off. The tri tip sandwiches were such a hit last time i dont want to vear from that but ill see if anything else jumps out at me!

[lokote]

would i pay you the fee at the build party or before it?

[tngay510]

before hand to reserve your spot

[Post 88]

This time I will come. I need to press out the barrel pin and the barrel. Hopefully somebody can weld the rails for me. I prefer a spot in the morning.

Not sure if I can make it, as the wife has plan to drag me to Egypt to see a bunch of tombs in March
