    Gunsmithing AK-47 Parts Kit

    So far I have built a Yugo underfolder, a Bulgie sidefolder, a Romie, a Khyber Pass-ed Romie, and a Tantal. I also modded a PSL. You will need a bunch of tools that aren't cheap to build an AK properly. Romies can be a PITA to headspace because they are so tight and matching kits are getting...

    One thing that hasn't been mentioned is office space. If and when I can find a suitable shop or at least a place to build one, I want an office to keep the paperwork organized.

    Gunsmithing Spraybooth Questions

    In the seemingly neverending quest for pain free Cerakote application, I have a lighting question for the spraybooth. Which temperature of lighting are you using to enable you to verify complete coverage? I have been using 6500k bulbs but wonder if going to a 5K bulb might work better. I...

    Gunsmithing Matching numbers AK out of headspace

    Chinese tolerances? Sounds like you need to reset, ream the barrel pin hole oversize, and put in the larger barrel pin. AKbuilder should have what you need.

    Gunsmithing What wrench to install Surefire flash hider?

    You're going to have to grind the wrench head thinner. 3/4" is correct but they are too thick. Don't use a Snap On unless you are loaded or just have extras. Use the crowsfoot at 90 degrees and no calculations required.

    Dual Sport/Enduro Motorcycle-Need Advice

    I did not realize that Yamaha made a WR450, which is a nice sized bike. Any feedback on it? Getting it plated might be a challenge. Couple of guys at work have the Suzuki, which they really like. Decisions, decisions.

    Gunsmithing any tips on de-greasing an AK for cerakote?

    Most likely to have around the house would probably be mineral spirits. It did a good job of cleaning off cosmoline on my lathe and mill. A chip brush and a pan to scrub the AK in should cut down on the soak time. Solvent if you have it would work also. AKs can take a while. Lots of places...

    Gunsmithing Romanian AK-47

    Re: Romanian AK-47 I stand corrected by someone with more experience than I. Go with what Wade says. One point I didn't mention.....if you get a Krink kit and build it, then you will have two AK's, which is better than having only one.

    Gunsmithing Romanian AK-47

    Re: Romanian AK-47 I agree with the above about getting a Krink kit and leave the barrel as is. To cut down your current barrel properly, you will: Press out the barrel pin (Romie pins are in there but good) Press out the barrel Punch out the pins holding the gas block and front sight...

    I couldn't find the answer on the NIC website, so hopefully someone here knows the answer. Yesterday I shot a rifle with H series and put it in the oven. I plugged in the oven and went about my business. I returned to find the oven wasn't on. I discovered the control was blown (the black...
