hoop762 0 Posted July 25, 2005 Report Share Posted July 25, 2005 finally got around to getting pics of my converted 762. I did the conversion back in may but wan not able to get pictures till now. I must say the conversion went very smooth. Even the dreaded spot welds were no match for my titanium coated drill bits, went through em like a hot knife through butter. I was a bit apprehensive as i started, but once everything got going, the conversion was a snap. It was much easier than i ever thought it would be. Thanks much goes out to everyone on the forum.

Wolverine 10,360 Posted July 26, 2005 Report Share Posted July 26, 2005 Nice Job Hoop. A good looking rifle. I like your custom ventilation job on the handguard. How did you form the oblong holes? W Quote Link to post Share on other sites

W <{POST_SNAPBACK}> thanks! the slanted vent slots actually came to me in a dream. It was really wild. I broke out my 1/4" drill bit and got to gettin'. i drilled one center hole then when back with a silver sharpy and marked where the other hole should be. i drilled the next holes at about a 45 degree angle above the other first holes and completed the slot with a small grinder in the good ole dremel. i thought the slanted slots would look cool, and its not something ive seen very often. i like to think it turned out pretty good.

Cobra 76 two 2,677 Posted July 29, 2005 Report Share Posted July 29, 2005 The AK74 style is the most effective. Just need to cut back the sleeve on the FSB and thread the bbl with 14:1 LH threads. Vjor is quite knowledgeable about this subject and has posted some good threads about it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

IndyArms 10,186 Posted July 30, 2005 Report Share Posted July 30, 2005 AK74 ***STYLE**** NOT an ak74 brake exactly.... they look identical, one bored out for 7.62, the other 5.45 or whatever the hell the 74 is..... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
