Dido!!! Awesome write up. I have been doing my research and reading on an Ak building, but this takes all the guessing out of it. Thanks!
69, Did all your parts and flat come from ak builder? I noticed some of the tools did... Somebody please sticky this thread! |

ak-builder flats and rivets are the way to go.

yes, it is.... works VERY well, just press from center and no moving back & forth along the jig.

Thanks for the write-up. Now I have no excuse to not get off my *** and build one.

This is really awesome! People should print a copy out and bring it to a BP if they get lost. I do like the fact you remind people to trim the lower rails because the first time I built an AK, I didn't know, no one told me and I was wondering why my mag didn't fit. Last BP I went to, I think I told everyone there and most people didn't know
Saved them some big headaches. Thanks Mach!

Think it would be worth more money that way? LOL!
I'm going to print out a copy of this and bring it to Duraglock's party. Time to watch The Pacific, I missed it the other day.

Normally I heat treat and spot weld my rails before drill the holes for the axis pins because you are going to have to drill the lower rail anyways. Normally the AK builder ones aren't predrilled but I have seen some before that are.

I learned the hard way about the rails.. That and I tell everyone to trim you rails BEFORE spot welding Because if you don't have a dremel...... it takes FOREVER with a hand file and it is super hard because it is in the receiver already.

One of the cleanest builds I've ever seen.
If I may offer a comment--having built a few AKs and some other stuff, and heat treated a few thousand parts and blades, you're almost perfect on heat treat, but not quite. First, a heads up that most of the heat treating advice online is worse than useless, it will destroy your receiver. Second, what he has here is pretty good. Workable. Orange or yellow is too hot, ESPECIALLY in daylight where colors don't show well. It's not quite as critical with a thin section, but I'd go to a bright red in shadow. An easy cheat is to use a small magnet--like on the back of a scribe--when it won't stick to the metal (austenized), it's hot enough. Give it a couple more seconds of heat to make sure, then quench in oil, fast. Your tempering advice is correct. Just to the top of blue, just as it turns gray. Don't get back into dull red or you'll have to start over, and thin stock can't take that often. If you have a furnace, you can also treat the whole receiver using a jig like this. It'll be a lot stronger, but does take more work. |
