Yes thats the gunthings kit, I saw, it came, I conquered.
It is the OOW-74 ( I have another waiting for the right build, thinking of an AK-102 clone, but it would be an SBR so I probably will do a folder of some sort using that style gas block?) Also thought about a 5.56 build, who's done one of those? What about mags? What mods are needed to the receiver/extractor?
I like the thought of the side rail, doesn't that attach at one end to the lower trunion rivet? That means I have to drill out my countersunk rivets. (possibly scratch my receiver) :scared:
And yes I did everything myself, I used my floppy 12 ton press, plinker's jig, Max's trigger jig, a dremel, my $30 drill press, some quality drill bits, misc hand tools. I mixed up my own park solution from manganese phospahate and phosphoric acid, cooked it on a turkey frier burner.Lost some skin and blood. Thank god for safety glasses! If I only had one more hand it would have made everything so much easier. (for pressing activities) I live in an apartment and used my little one car garage with only one electrical plug that I have tee'd off. So if there's a will there's a way...Do it if you can!
Post some pics of that plum 74.
