AK47 Build Party Pics from WillysWagon

Well, I thought I'd try it again :lol:
I got my sidefolder stock today from the 'Brown Truck'. I hope to build it up for a range test this weekend in WP. One of the fixed stock AK's was my first build and I made several errors on it, thanks for the FCG tip Ryan :oops: . I may be able to save it, but won't know till it's all done.

I'm looking forward to the next build. I know there's been posting about holding one up in the Denver area. As long as people get enough tools together for a total build, let's have several build parties :D .

Later all,

here is mine:

it came home as a spotwelded blank. such a sad little piece of sheetmetal.
Goes click when the trigger is pulled, slides and locks the hammer. Trimmed back a little too much on the top of the receiver but hopefully it won't affect firing (doesn't by hand).

Very nice looking shooters . 8)

Hey Merl,

That AK looks good, did you refinish the wood on it?

looking good. Now we just need the build party to get started here in Denver so I can build me one of those.

yeah I refinished the wood. Rit dye and clear varnish. the paint used on the metal isnt very good, at least on that metal. scratches off easily. can always re-do it later with something else if it gets really bad. (or experiment with park)
