beefcakeb99 572 Posted March 13, 2011 Report Share Posted March 13, 2011 Is that a WinMo ringtone I hear? Very nice video and tutorial. It is inspiring to people who may be on the fence. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

jamesavery22 54 Posted March 13, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 13, 2011 How much was your spot welder? The Harbor Feight by me don't have any. Was $129 when I got it :\ http://www.harborfreight.com/115-volt-spot-welder-45689.html Probably cheaper 120v spot welders out there but they do have a good warranty setup.

rommeld 0 Posted March 19, 2011 Report Share Posted March 19, 2011 Awesome project and weapon. Thank's for posting. Super nice photo too. Do you have any more pics of the gun?....or what ever. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jamesavery22 54 Posted March 22, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 22, 2011 OK I missed the trunnion removal. Theres a good reason for that The long rivet is a bitch to get out. After cutting the head off I tried taking a lucky whack at it with the punch and hammer. That shook the table and knocked the camera off without me knowing. Have an hour or two long video of the ceiling and me cursing in the back ground I did forget to address that in the video, thanks for the reminder. I used the same process to remove the rear trunnion rivets as the stock trigger plate. Cut the heads of the rivets off, drill out the insides, then bang away. The long rivet just takes the most work. TwentyNizzo, With a good white hot flame(which really blows through those little red oxy bottles) you could see the parts of the FH directly where the flame was get red hot after 1 - 2 minutes. That barrel and that FH are pretty thick though. That would take longer than a thinner 12G barrel. In comparison to the FSC47 I blind pinned it heated up a little quicker. That YHM FH w/ the suppressor threads is pretty big. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Couch-commando 0 Posted May 14, 2011 Report Share Posted May 14, 2011 So, to be clear, there is no way to remove the original gas block and sight base and then put them back on without modification? I always assumed that they were pinned and could be installed/ removed at will. Is there any way to remove them, install a standard handguard retainer, and then put them back on without tons of work? I have no access to a drill press. I'm considering a basic AK74 clone using a siaga as a base. A fun step by step project to get my mind off things. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
