I don't go for the shake n bake.... LOL I enjoy camo paint jobs. the standard paints are all i go with. I do however have a compressor and paint guns also so... You don't need to bake the Duracoat, it will air cure over night. I do the baking part to speed the cure so I can continue onto the next color in a camo pattern. The instruction you get with the Duracoat are very good. How to mix, apply, finish......... Thier Trustrip cleaner is EXCELLENT, I get a can with every order. Whatever product you go with I can not express the need for the prep work enough. the better the prep the better

I like Duracoat... I'm a fan of it. I've painted alot of it on everything. Duracoat is easy to apply.... easy. Air dry or bake it. I bake the parts in the kitchen oven, it doesn't stink like other finishes when baking. When done correct it's hard and easy to clean/wipe down. The color white or any other doesnt get the grimy. I can't express prep prep and prep before paint. Bead blast, sand blast, scuff it with a scotchbrite, the more prep you put into it the better the finish will come out. When you think it's clean enough to paint...... clean it again.

to pull the barrel i used a tie rod puller from auto parts store. you can reinstall useing either a press with blocking in the receiver opening or a long piece of allthread will work on the cheap. rivet tool.... google pookie rivet tool, modded jaws for bolt cutters are used. <<<< Dont cheap out with the 18" ones, for the lower rivets 24" ones are easier. like i said before you can use a good vise to install the trigger guard rivets. Tools are tools. An AK is not like a lego build AR. Not to scare you.... an AK is simple to build.... fun to build... time and material.

LOL good deal

Add a US made gas piston to the list. Tools???? Well, with a 100% receiver you don't need a bending jig and the rails will be installed with the center support rivet. But you'll still need tools to pull the barrel from the trunion, then install it. A press is a must have. Riveting tool for front trunnion and rear trunnion. Trigger guard riveting jig is nice, but it can be done in a vise. Go/no go gages

Underfolding AK trunnion?
akastormi replied to Maxwelhse's topic in Other Weapons - RIFLES (non-AK based)
You can find surplus Yugo rear trunions, or a complete stock set if you hunt. A US made m70 underfolder trunion is gonna cost you @ $75. The thing you need to remember, most Yugo's were built on a 1.5mm receiver. The rear trunion will be to narrow to install in a Saiga receiver. That said...... It is doable.... with thin sheet metal shims on both sides. A Romanian underfolder assembly would be most likely the cheapest way to go. -
Really???? Hmmm. Out of the 9 Galil mags I have for my 223, only one has feeding issues. I didn't touch any, in any way. They just work.

No. LOL I still have that $200 Auzzie Coach Wood set laying in hibernation.

I cleaned the piss out of it when it came home. I've shot a few boxes through it already to make sure i didn't have any feeding issues with my mags. Extractor is good. So far i'm happy.

Well Gents, I got Bored again. Awhile back I bought a well War-Torn FAL stock set Rhodesian Camouflage. It's been sitting waiting for something, and the day came around. I picked up a WASR-22, I'm not a taccool type guy, so I kept thinking/wondering if i could get the handguards to fit. The WASR-22 fell apart, strange how that happens. It's a blow back rifle so the gas system wasn't needed. I whored out the FS block to fit where the gas block should be and pressed/pinned it backwards for looks. With a little cutting and fitting to the rear of the HG's, then adding some plastic

FN FAL trade for AR 15, good deal?
akastormi replied to socom688's topic in General Discussion - Any topic is welcome here!!!
To me it's still a 50/50 I don't think you'll be losing anything money wise. Personally I'd take a FAL over an AR any day. -
FSB hole drilled.....oddly, advice needed.
akastormi replied to Rabu's topic in Saiga Rifle Conversions
Personally.... I would drill the barrel and find a finishing nail to use as the pin. Hammer/Mushroom the ends to fill the odd shaped holes. It's not like a part your gonna take off numerous times. Do with what you got.... or... Get another.... or... Weld it on through the holes.
