Another milled AK reweld question...

[bigbob76]

I've read some threads and Nico has given me a lot of good info but i either lost or don't remember some of it. What a surprise. What I'm looking for is a printable page of dimensions. I have a milled M70 kit and a set of repair plates from the artist in Oregon and I'm gradually warming up to the idea to get started on this.

For the over all length of the reciever, you want to use you top cover as a gauge. For drilling the FCG, you can either measure one of you stamped receivers or find the dimmensions on the internet. I had a great drawing saved in my favorites but, my laptop crashed and now I'm using my wife's.

Use the top cover for length and calipers for everything else. Pretty straight forward for an experienced builder like you. Just keep everything squared up and clamped down. Even stitch weld if you don't want to put too much heat into the receiver.

That's the one I use Bob

I'll save you some math too.
Between trigger, and hammer axis pin holes is 1.55"
Between trigger, and 'evil third hole' (in case your hammer axis pin hole is missing on the cut receiver sections) is 2.133". (Be sure to weld it shut after you set the distance).
Distance from top rail is 1.1" to center of hammer axis pin hole, and 1.38" from top rail to center of trigger axis pin hole.

Normally you can find the safety selector hole on your rear stub so finding the trigger axis pin hole is done from there.
The distance is .9" center to center between the two.

Mag well is set using a mag, and as stated before OAL of the receiver is set using the top cover (-1/32" so you can file fit a nice snug top cover).

Take all dimensions from top rail, and square down from there.

Have fun with it Bob.

you can also use an unbent flat for reference.
