who has a jig to bent flats?
I have a DPH Arms jig.
I'm in Colo Spgs
my friend has a automotive repair/performance shop in arvada and he's willing to host the build.
Cool deal kwando.
I plan on hosting another in mid-late April, when was your buddy going to do one?
well we don't know where to begin, so we are looking for someone to give us direction. so if you don't mine driving up to denver, we can host it at my friends shop. there is plenty of room over there.
midwest arms says the flat needs to be heat treated when it is done being bent, is this something that we need to worry about?
Nice looking build Delphi! Congrats! http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v1.../anim_beer.gif
By chance, are you ever get called "Lenard Lawrence" or "Gomer Pyle"? http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v1.../anim_peep.gif
Photobucket.com is an easy place to upload and post pictures from. It's all I ever use.

No, heat treating the receiver is easy with a Mapp Gas torch. Heat the 4 FCG holes & ejector on the left rail to a orange/yellow color and quinch it in water (some use an oil/salt combo). Then clean the receiver off and heat the same area's till they get to a blue/purple and let air cool. You're done. It doesn't take long. I can't promise coming up for a build party, lot's going on here with AK's being one of 'many' projects. I'll be more than happy to answer any questions you have though. I may be able to loan you the jig if someone from the Springs goes to the build party you host.
thx i will keep you posted.
I'm unable to post pics from my Ofoto gallery, this sucks.
They show up on my comp, but only because I originated the pics.
Thanks for the heads up Marlin :cry:
Nice X's there Kyle. :wink:
