I know a guy in woodenville area if you still need a smith

Funny you should mention that,it was my plan to run a bolt through the middle and bond the pieces.If the stocks are solid then use a double ended screw used to join wood as a reinforcement to the glue. I used them to join table legs.
I think that concept has merit, but getting the 2 pieces lined up correctly and tightly with that type of fastener would be challenging. The plastic is most likely not as forgiving as wood.
I did just have another thought based on sort of the same idea. He could fill the stocks (with JB Weld, fiberglass resin, whatever) at their ends thick enough to accept a counter bore (if they're not solid already), run a thread rod between the 2 parts, install a nut in the counter bore, line everything up, torque the exterior nuts, trim the rod off, fill the counter bores and use whatever filler to smooth the transition and add strength.
This will be a fun project to see happen. I think I'd still take the easy way out and just make something out of wood that is already 1 piece.
I took the gun that I plan to do this to out yesterday. I had just put the bigger scope, the one you see in the picture on and hadn't zeroed it yet. I couldn't see where my shots went to adjust, it was embarrassing. I barrowed my buddies mosin and used his iron sight and hit the paper every time.
Anyway maybe not all my improvements are improvements.

I work for Boeing and specifically on the 777 line, we build -200's, -300's, and freighters.
This whole story has been a on going debate at work. I hope whatever caused the plane to come up missing wasn't structural, if it was the black box should still be transmitting.

You might try glassing over the seam for added strength. Rough up the surface, mix some 4:1 epoxy, and lay up a couple layers of fiberglass fabric. Put some wax paper over top, and give it 24 hours to harden. Epoxy is easy to paint (easier than nylon, anyway) and can be dyed to match too. Just be sure it's room temperature or better so the epoxy wets the fabric and cures completely.
Good idea ;-)

When you use acetone do you lightly paint it on and let it sit for like an hour to soften up?
The company website says the plastic they use is chemical resistant... Then again some of the keytone I use at work is very strong we call it mpk (I work for bieing)

Thank you.
I think you sold me on the idea of trying out jb weld.
I was planning on whatever I used to bond the pieces being just a secondary method of attachment. The first will be bolting them together, using the two together should make a really strong bond.
Im not too worried about the hack job look, in that im confident in my ability to make it look nice, I just didn't want to attach it in a ugly way is what I meant.
*edit
I contacted atigunstocks and asked them what I can used to bond to them. I'm currious what they will recommend.
-
I've never used jb weld before and just assumed it was for metal. I might have to test that out
I have a spare piece of stock that should be the same material. I just dont want to hack up a good stock and find out what I did wont work. I aslo don't want to make my work look like a total hack job

Well while I was in Cambodia I picked this up
* damn it to large to load...

Email the antis something like the following..
Please support Senate Bill 5956 which will require the mandatory registration of short barreled rifles, such ask AK-47s and AR-15s. Close the loop hole that prevents these from being registered!!
they are unlikely to actually read the bill anyway
-
I did give some thought to adding a sling.
I'm holding off till it actually operates correctly. If you have more ideas I would love to hear them
-
I just started a bullpup project because I couldn't make a sbr. I really hope this passes.

I dunno man.
certainly a unique approach.
also, Starship Troopers
It does give off a sifi vibe, and it certainly isn't for everyone.
I think if you held it you would feel the ergonomics difference and at least appreciate that aspect of it.
Also, the chopped AFG isn't going to work, because you need that rail space for your sawthat's for my shotty lol. i do still want to do something like a afg, it kind of needs it.

Well actually there is no savings, my over all length is about 1 1/2" longer.
The kit extends past my barrel.
I started with a pistol as a matter of preference

I thought i would share how my M85PV project is going. (may have to add pics later, more are available in my gallery in the m85pv folder)
Before i start i would like to get this disclaimer out of the way. All fitting issues with my center balance kit are due to two factors, 1) it was never intended for a PAP, it was made for a Draco 2) i have after market mods that are also in the way. I'm sure the kit fits perfectly on a Draco as intended.
all the pics i have are of me doing a very rough fit job, i will polish it all up once i fix the fitting issues.
The reason I'm installing a center balance kit is because here in Washington state sbr's are illegal. the next best thing is a arm gun, and i thought the kit kind of looked cool.
I've added two mod kits to this gun so far. Texas AK Designs Bastard, and a R&R Targets AR safety, sadly i lost some of the pics of the installation of these.
both are awesome
To add the safety i had to remove the existing safety and weld the hole closed, then drill a new safety hole and 4 indents.
The AR mag adapter required me to drill 3 holes and tap 2, their was some grinding that needed to be done internally to allow for mag clearance.
I received the center balance kit the day before thanks giving and quickly had some issues (i knew i would after all its not intended for my gun)
first issue i had is the hand guard retainer is too large and lacks a cleaning rod hole. i cut down the retainer and it now fits.
the top cover has a hole intended for the front sight to poke through, that hole is located too far forward so i had to remove the front sight (i planned to cut it off anyway)
the wood furniture around the gas tube had to be removed to fit, this required some grinding. the retainers are spot welded on.
the center balance kit has a cover that hides the old trigger that cover prevents the dust cover from opening (its hinged on a PAP). i cut it down to allow the dust cover to open. i had 3 more issues with the cover, 1) my AR safety was in the way, 2) it blocks my mag release, 3) the kit comes with a block to secure it that fits in the hole for the pistol grip, my bastard kit is in the way of that.
to fully attach the cover i need to make a custom block that will fit the bastard kit where the pistol grip goes.
that last issue I'm having is the trigger linkage. its binding on my mag release and hitting my safety, i also think it should slide on a rail.
the two critiques i have about the center balance kit are, the safety is crap it doesn't work well and its just a plastic block that interrupts the pull.
secondly the trigger linkage really needs a guide rail. other than that the kit seems to be really nice, and i would recommend it.
i will post more as i finish more. i do plan to add a top rail soon and put flip sights on it.

if the bellingham address is the right one, then as gunfun pointed out its not far from me. (i'm his cousin)
i would really need to practice before being ready to compete but it would be fun to do the run.
Z-POcolypsE sounds like a ton of fun, i need to watch for this next year.

why, why, why.... why would anyone use that?
that's just horrid, if you hate your life enough to take that you can go out and change it or at least kill your self in a faster way.

I'm still around, I just read threads from time to time. My problem has been im saving up for vacation and this makes modding fall by the wayside.

Did you read the part where they will only return the guns if you can prove thier yours.
Im not sure how Canadian law works but here in Washington you can do private sales, so if mine were taken in the same way I wouldn't have proof for all of them.

@NSA are you strictly online or do you have a store i could go to? your not too far from me after all

That's great, more neighborhoods should fallow by example.
I used to have family there, didn't look that bad. Maybe it got worse
-
if chasing doesn't work and you don't want to go up a size you can weld the hole closed and re-drill/tap (i've had to do it)
-
i have the extended mag release and the auto plug on mine, you'll love them.
what color were you thinking of painting your gun? i did mine two tone, OD Green and Black.
Missing plane theories?

Just so you guys know the doors to the lavatories and crew sleeping area and flight deck all have a hidden way to unlock them without a key. We use them daily while building the interiors (except the flight deck door its not installed in my position)
