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:

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
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
It’s not. It’s a $99 dollar single shot from Walmart.
Saw that bitch off and thread in a sight
Get a machinist to do the sight if you cannot
Or leave it
I don’t know any machinists. Some of the sporting goods stores have clip on fiber optic sights I might mod on in the mean time.
Epoxy bb to top
JB weld
silver solder it
Just use one of the neon colored clear .12 gram airsoft bb's
No. Ima do it right.
>Do it right
>on a $99 single shot
Gorilla gluing a BB to the rib is about as right as it gets on those
