Just need more gun parts to even out the beer to gun ratio.sigpicIf you loan someone twenty dollars and never see them again, it was probably worth it.

Where was the thread about how do you store your spares? I think I win. Photos are from the infamous "build house" note the total OCD driven organization and cult like filing utilizing the Dewey decimal system. I need to have a "pimp my shop" party, anyone interested?
Oh yea put the cleaning rods in those darned flat built rifles.Originally posted by ChrisO

Okay, that's pretty far up there on the manly-man fridge, but I bet you still haven't built an AR while in bed and watching Jay Leno on TV.

I couldnt resist Bill. This is how we do it in Fres-NO! Looks like a rational reason to build on flats to me
! I didnt drive 1 foot to build a rifle and waited a whole 12 hours for me to build it start to finish. I have not built an AR in bed. (I dont have a bed)!

There is ZERO rational reason to homebrew a crap AK receiver when a variety of perfectly high-quality factory production off-list receivers are available for $75.
Most homebrew AK stuff has been real hashup. A gunsmith friend was laughing at some of these butchered builds from various sources he has to clean up to get running. Some likely will need a new receiver.
I also do worry about folks still having this "80%" idiocy in their heads, since there is no such thing in the law. It's probably OK to do an AK receiver from a flat piece of undrilled metal. As more and more work gets done before shipping to the buyer (bending, drilling, trunion mounting, etc.), the more risk there is the ATF could regard it as "close enough" to a receiver that it's in fact a receiver, and then you illegally acquired one without going thru FFL.
One Calgunner who skirted by some other ATF troubles (by the skin of his teeth) in another "80%" area actually had an EBay dude send him a couple of AK receiver flats that the sender voluntarily (and unrequested) and oh-so-courteously bent up and drilled "... to save him a bit of trouble...". That ain't courtesy, that's an ATF snitch working off some time.
Homebrew builds have complexities in selling them too (not that any sane person would wanna buy a jig-rig folded AK anyway when he can get a factory receiver or rifle for only a few bucks difference).

The rational reason that you are lucky enough not to have to deal with is the FFL's in this area that wont deal with OLL receivers,no ak oll, no fal oll nada zip zero. There is only one will deal with ar types oll receivers. So if you want go ahead and make a 300 mile trip twice, add up the gas money to the purchase of your 75 dollar receiver and then see how much the rational reasons come into better focus.There is ZERO rational reason to homebrew a crap AK receiver when a variety of perfectly high-quality factory production off-list receivers are available for $75.I have neither the inclination or the time to relieve people of the regional and ethnic handicaps that they inherited from their ancestors.
