so what are your winter projects?

[Matthew Hopkins 1,065]

me, I'm going to build a Garand clip loader. saw it on YOUTUBE, and thought now that is something unique and neat, so I'm going to make one. I'm going to do it a bit different, instead of hand dropping the rounds down the "channel", I'm going to make a hopper on the top, so that when you fill the rounds in the hopper, they will go down the channel.

 

I don't have any kind of metal working machines, I do have a tap and die set, vise, a grinder, band saw and file, half the challenge and fun is making something with some ingenuity and creativity.

 

 

 

 

so, what are your plans for a winter project?

Planning on reloading stocking up on accessories and converting fsb on my 7.62 saiga, maybe start breaking down the fj 40 for restoration.

Biggest project will be making a smaller stronger me. Need to drop 20 or so pound and rearrange the leftovers into muscle... if shtf, I would be in poor physical shape to deal with it.

I've got my rivet holes drilled and I'm ready to heat-treat. Dremel and a hand drill craftsmanship. My selector cut came out perfect.

 

A labor of love after hours of patience. It's my first kit build.

 

I look forward to the riveting! My "rivet-squeezer" is 95% finished.

 

Should i put my initials on the heads of the rivets? The letters would have to be "raised".

 

I'm just musing.

 

All kinds of artistic possibilities.

I'm waiting on a check in Oct to finish my Egyptian 47 home build, then the 74 build will begin. Just been waiting on a barrel to finish this one. May even pick up the 74 barrel before getting the kit since it seems barrel production has been hit or miss with the buying frenzy early in the year

[Shotgun12 205]

Vepr 5.45x39 complete build. So far i have done the full 922r conversion and installed hanguard upper and lower, pistol grip, stock, replaced the trigger and hammer, replaced the gas tube, purchased some other misc. parts. I plan to do some custom work on the barrel and swap the original front sight with an AK-74 24mm front sight with bayonet lug. I Just need to place some orders and i can begin.

 

Also, i'm completely refinishing my WASR 10 with a new paint job and beautiful furniture.

What are you gonna use for refinish, I would like to finish my saiga as well this winter. Ceramic engine paint seems to be very popular for the diy guys?

I will be using "Rust-Oleum High Heat" spray paint. After letting it dry and placing the painted parts into an oven at 350 degrees for an hour really bakes the coat on for a strong durable finish.

[dashowdy 141]

I have both so I may go with the high heat, just use a regular old oven?
