One more AK...
I had a short work week for a change so I built one of my Egyptian crutch folder kits. After this I'm only going to build one more AK.

You don't sound too convincing. Once you start building AKs, how you gonna stop? Nice job.

I just ordered a barrel today for the kit and flat I have sitting on the shelf.
I also ordered an "extra" barrel so I can build "just one more" AK...

Did you paint the bolt carrier?

No, some of the crutch folder kits I bought looked like they were new when they got cut up. The only wear on some of them seemed to be from rubbing on other greasy parts in the bag. The Egyptians don't seem to put much effort into the painting though. The paint on Bulgy 74s seems to be high quality paint while the Egyptians perhaps have a different attitude.

Crap...
Now I have to have a crutch side folder. Picked up a polish kit from Apex today. Going to tinker around with fitting one of the $99 k-var Bulgarian 5.56 barrels into it. Only thing I'm not sure of is if the bulgarian 5.56 mags will lock into the polish 5.45 trunion...

Nice build...I also have a newborn from this weekend thanks to "ATSAUBREY" in Visalia. Had a great time learning and building my lil'comrade. Still needs to be dura-coated but still pure awesomeness. If anyone in the Central Valley needs any help with an AK build give atsaubrey a holler, highly recommended guy.

My underfolder flat is bent, rails are welded in and all rivets/ pin holes have been checked for fit.
Time to program the kiln and heat treat it...

On our way to 750 degrees for normalizing for two hours, then up to 1600 degrees and the alarm will signal me to quench it...

If I had seen this sooner I would have suggested putting the center support in first. But then again I've been wrong about a lot of stuff, it will probably be fine.

Truth, that's a lot of unsupported 16g steel to go all wiggly at that temp.

One more AK...
I had planned to put spacers with screws through both ends and the center support, but I didn't feel like waiting for the spacers to come in or making them.
The two-hour normalizing should settle the steel before the 1600 degree step so it does not move around so much. That's the idea at least... I'm more concerned with what happens when I tug it out of the kiln at 1600 degrees to go quench it.
