Long Island Man Arrested For Defending Home With AK-47

Says Many Gang Members Were Coming After His Family

UNIONDALE, N.Y. (CBS 2) — He was arrested for protecting his property and family.
But it’s how the Long Island man did it that police say crossed the line.
He got an AK-47 assault rifle, pulled the trigger and he ended up in jail, reports CBS 2’s Pablo Guzman.

i was using a gear puller and penetrating oil to press off my barrel ( after ruining it with a slipped brass nut) anyway, I chewed up 3 brass washers, and bent the gear puller trying to get this damn thing off, using a breaker bar and a 2 foot cheater pipe as leverage. Not a cheap $10 gear puller, a $40 craftsman 5-ton puller.

It hasn't budged a milimeter. Is it really this tough, or did I get a "special" kit.
Yes, I tapped the barrel pin and the gas block pin out. Both practically fell out, in comparison.

I don't know what to do, I have another barrel coming. Anyone have a tip, other than buy a 20-ton press? ]]> AK-47 Discussion Forum ironmace http://www.gunco.net/forums/f3/getting-m70-barrel-off-tougher-than-i-thought-57253/ http://www.gunco.net/forums/f3/trigger-shoe-57201/ Fri, 03 Sep 2010 15:06:04 GMT Any advice on where I can purchase a trigger shoe for my AK47?

Now I do not want to blow $600 plus that is with FFL on a rifle that is going to melt in my hands. I think my friend was just defending it becouse when I looked at it it did not look quot "Combat Ready" end quot.

Four rivets in the front trunion need drilled out, I would like to avoid removing the barrel to get at these troublesome rivets. Is it possible to do this? Could I just drill for the depth of the rivet, or is more trouble than it's worth. If I go this route, will it be a serious problem getting rivets back in? To tell the truth I'm just worried about getting the barrel back in, seems like they machine them to be a tight fit, If it will go back in without needing a barrel press I'm sure I can do it, but if not, I dont have access to a press so I'm kinda screwed. My local gun shop doesnt even have one, and even if he did, he doesnt have much respect for the AK so i dont know if i would trust him with it anyways. There are some good machine shops here in town that might be able to pull it off, I dont know if that's standard equipment though. I've got access to a drill press with a vise on it, and i'm gonna get some sharp bits to punch holes. I also have to drill rivets out of the trigger guard and one out of the rear trunion(the top one by the recoil spring holder). Am I in need of some help guys? I think so. ]]> AK-47 Discussion Forum AKGuy1985 http://www.gunco.net/forums/f3/polish-underfolder-barrel-question-57147/ http://www.gunco.net/forums/f3/quick-question-about-m70-barrel-removal-57129/ Mon, 30 Aug 2010 02:08:45 GMT Is the barrel pin the only pin that comes out, or do you have to take the sight block pin out too?

I am Mrlockandload from mrlockandload.com. I have PSL-54c that I have a question on. It is a Century Arms import. One of the new made in Romanian PSL's. I am not new to firearms and fine at doing my own mods. I modified a Hungarian SA-85m stock to fit her. Ill put pics up when I am done. Now to my question for you guys. When I put my 6x42 POSP scope on this rifle, the scope is canted quite a bit to the left. I can lean the whole rifle over a bit and make the reticle horizontal. I know that this will work but I would like to correct this physically. I have read that the guns and scopes are hand fitted overseas so I was wondering how as this is not the original scope for the rifle? From my own assessment there are two sections of the scope base that is about 1.5 inches long and 1 inch long that rests up agents the rifles top rail. These pieces are on the forward part and rear part of the scope mount. What I am thinking is to file and stone these down while adjusting the actual tightness of the mount to the rail. Dose anyone have any experience with correcting this? I wanted to ask you guys before I start removing material. Please let me know.
