my FAILED 3 cut galil reweld

[baker1184]

It took a ton of time patience to finish but I final got it done.

[baker1184]

I tig welded it with straight argon and er70 filler. It is dark from heat treatment scale.

Can someone help me out with a muzzle break if some kind I want to keep it featureless with a grip wrap and a break.

I have two different style muzzle devises one with holes and one with slots. Are they both flash hiders? I might just make my own.

Looking good, lets go shooting! Did you get your kit from Apex?

[baker1184]

yup parts and receiver pieces are from apex. How did your ak builds run at the range?

Here are the two muzzle devises.

Blackthorne used to have the galil Sniper style muzzle device that gets the OAL past 30". What's going on with your stock? it looks funny, is it just sitting there and not actually in the receiver?

The stock is in the receiver. I was also thinking that the stock looked funny. So on further inspection the stock is installed upside down in the hinge. But that's the way the parts came in the kit?

Good welding. A good welder make the process so much more fun.

Very cool. The receiver looks great. Is that one of the virgin barrel kits from apex?

[grossekatz]

Looking good, can't wait till its done.

[baker1184]

Yup a virgin barrel. I had to turn back the gas block shoulder about the length of the gas block.

That looks awesome! Mine is getting close, how long did you work on that reciever?

[7,62x39]

How did you heat treat that?

[baker1184]

I've worked on it on and off for a couple of months it was a ton of work!

I heat treated it in my electric glass kiln. I got it bright orange and quenched it, I then annealed it with a torch.

Nice, I've got two of these cut receivers that I am going to experiment with, but I don't think I'll ever get around to using it due to heat treating.
