drpetepat 0 Posted February 2, 2009 Report Share Posted February 2, 2009 Anyone know of a person able to convert my 223 in Michigan? I would do it myself but i have no time or tools or knowledge to do so. Not to say that I'm afraid i'd hurt it since it's an ak but i have no time and i think the first try would require alot of that. Also i'm wary of shipping it since i'm rather paraniod about most things. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

drpetepat 0 Posted February 3, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 3, 2009 Thats ok i may have to just settle for the tapco t6 setup. this sporting stock is killing me though, it's like an AK sippy cup, or AK safety scissors Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SJgunguy 5 Posted February 3, 2009 Report Share Posted February 3, 2009 Do you have a cordless drill and a good set of drill bits? That a set of punches, a small hammer and a multi tool are just about all you'll need. maybe 5 hrs for the first one. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Big Boss 21 Posted February 3, 2009 Report Share Posted February 3, 2009 (edited) Dude, I have absolutely no skills at all and I converted my gun. Unlike you, I had access to a drill press and an air-compressor-powered grinder, so I had it a little easier, but I didn't do anything you couldn't do with a Dremel Tool and a good, variable-speed cordless drill. Trust me, it's easy as pie, just go slowly and carefully follow the instructions available. Also, from getting the guts out to putting it back together took no longer than 2 hours, it was easy as breathing. Edited February 3, 2009 by Big Boss Quote Link to post Share on other sites
usmc_mwroseberry 0 Posted February 9, 2009 Report Share Posted February 9, 2009 I'll do it for 150 if you supply all the parts and get it to me. I'm no professional at this but it would get done and you would have fewer moving parts than an un-converted. I'm in Ohio about 2 hours south of Toledo. Let me know if you want a Buckeye working on your rifle. If you want to see pics of my rifle just do a search on me. And since my latest pics I've put Dinzags hole plugs in and put a Bulgarian FSB and east German Muzzle break on. Good luck, Merritt SGT USMC vet. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
imarangemaster 315 Posted February 9, 2009 Report Share Posted February 9, 2009 I did it left handed, and I am right handed and had my right arm in a sling. ' If all else fails, the Tapco is a great set up, especially if using optics. Here's mine before I did the conversion: Add a Galil hand guard and it is very sexy!: Only takes 5 minutes and my wife could do it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Good sir, I think the only way that is legal is if you sing "Hail to the victors" while doing it! Thanks for the offer and the belief that I can accomplish this guys. But i think I'll go with the tapco setup at least until my tax $$ comes. Besides the ole lady can't use it until the stock get shorter so that problem need solved with the quickness. That way she won't bitch about the money I'll be spending in the near future. Edited February 13, 2009 by Dr petepat Quote Link to post Share on other sites
