Title: Any appleseeders near Austin that build AK's?
Post by: thisismyboomstick on March 02, 2009, 10:36:42 PM
I recently moved out here from CA. Back in CA I had a pretty decent set up for AK assembly. Blast cabinet, park tank, press, and other various tools. Now I'm stuck in a 1br apartment without much of anything. Is there anybody close by that is set up for blast and park or AK assembly? I wouldn't mind driving a bit.

I have a kit, parts, and the desire to do a build.  I don't have a press, so I can't complete the build.

If there's anyone in Central Texas who could walk me through it, I'd be much obliged.

all the more reason to have a build party! I certainly wish to add an AK to my assortment and would enjoy the experience of having a build party.  ;)

If you can't line up a press, screws are a viable alternative,. I've got the rivets , but not the press. My 'mentor' says he uses screws, and prefers them.  Additionally it offers the added advantge, that in the unlikely event that you would want to change out the barrel, it makes it much easier.

I would be all for a build party. At my previous residence I'd be able to offer some facilities and equipment but here I don't have much. All I have is a NO-GO headspace guage and 5mm and 7mm reamers.
