East Bay - AK Flat Bending Jig Rental?

[Cheetah223]

I ran myself into a corner today, and I'm hoping to find a flat bending jig (and possibly a spot welder..) I can rent in the next few days. I'm happy to drive a reasonable distance and compensate anybody who can give me time to bend one AK builder flat.

Solar Tactical in Livermore rents them 925-447-4743

Thanks jgianoli - Solar Tactical was the first place I contacted a few days ago. Long story short, they can tentatively help me out, so I'm hoping to find something more solid/certain in case it doesn't work out with them.

I'm still hunting for a flat bending jig. Solar Tactical does not rent theirs out anymore. Does anyone have any leads? Willing to travel reasonable distance.

True story. I spoke with Nicoroshi (thanks for the tip!) and he enlightened me to the current state of affairs regarding build parties/tool rental/etc. I wasn't aware of the goings-on in regards to build parties and such, so he's on hiatus from renting/loaning tools until the legal storm cloud has cleared up, so to speak. I didn't realize renting out or loaning out tools had become legally questionable, or I wouldn't have posted up soliciting it. Thanks for everyone's help though!
