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

@Sadmin can we get some of this good man’s posts pinned?

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?

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

I’m debating cutting the barrel down to forward of the piece of tape. 18 inches is just behind the tape in the middle of the hole. Forgot to measure over all length. I’ll need to move the sight at some point, and this girl already kicks like a mule. What do y’all think?

is it a Rem 870?

why not just get a new barrel, they're pretty cheap
