They are pretty fun
"Why would you want to?" Is the enemy of the 2A
Just like how I want to build this new fangled 45 70 AR
That's an abomination
But it looks fun
Do they even make 45-70 mags?
Gonna look like a bubba'd AK-M4
Yes
But you need to cut the rim on the cartridge
Boys, I want a 10/22
How should I build it?
Go... buy one and shoot it?
bavarian stock
Bigger charging handle, run it like an AK.
16" Bull barrel and volquartsen innards
Buy the gun and shoot it, and then decide what you want to upgrade. Otherwise you’re just throwing parts at something and crossing your fingers.

You can't reasonably discern what needs to be tweaked without experiencing the base model
AK Build Tools:
http://www.tothtool.com/
those are the tools I used
bending the receiver is another animal
it's not as difficult as an HK receiver
pressing the barrel in isn't difficult with that barrel puller/pusher
some people use hydraulic presses
I preferred that rig
AK Builder is an excellent build resource for tools and parts
Fair to ask dumb repair questions here, or that more of the normal k channel?
🤷
ask
I'm sure some of you have already seen that
I'm repairing my dads Mauser (mostly just cleaning really) and the lock sleeve spring on the cocking piece is a bit weak, leading to fun bolt shenanigans
It looks like an easy fix, just slide it out and in. Am i missing something probably?
second link shows step by step in pics
I looked for that, but my Google fu is week on guns
Thanks so much, it's exactly what i needed!
Looks like i should be able to do exactly what i was thinking. Doesn't look like i need to remove the mainspring either, which is good
Since this stock doesn't have that handy hole. Thanks, Spain
