Re: Gun Builds in Progress?
Got a few ak kits, and a bunch of stripped AR lowers. But saving money for a house is getting in the way of the gun funds right now. Only one I'm tinkering with right now is one of my Yugo M72 kits, but I'm toying with the idea of having the 14x1lh threads cut off and then recountour the barrel to still accept the factory FSB and bipod and have it re threaded 1/2×28 or 5/8×24 if theres enough meat to run one of my suppressors

Thanks, that’s what I wanted to know.delta6 wrote: ↑May 25th, 2018, 6:39 am 11. Do I need a Federal firearms license to make a firearm for my own personal use, provided it is not being made for resale?
Firearms may be lawfully made by persons who do not hold a manufacturer’s license under the GCA provided they are not for sale or distribution and the maker is not prohibited from receiving or possessing firearms. However, a person is prohibited from assembling a non-sporting semiautomatic rifle or shotgun from 10 or more imported parts, as set forth in regulations in 27 CFR 478.39. In addition, the making of an NFA firearm requires a tax payment and advance approval by ATF. An application to make a machinegun will not be approved unless documentation is submitted showing that the firearm is being made for the official use of a

Federal, State or local government agency (18 U.S.C. § 922(o),(r); 26 U.S.C. § 5822; 27 CFR §§ 478.39, 479.62, and 479.105).
Additionally, although markings are not required on firearms manufactured for personal use (excluding NFA firearms), owners are recommended to conspicuously place or engrave a serial number and/ or other marks of identification to aid in investigation or recovery by State or local law enforcement officials in the event of a theft or loss of the privately owned firearm.

Don't know if I'll even shoot it that much. It's definitely not a plinker. Purchased 100rds of Rainier 335gr HP's from Alexander Arms for a pretty good price.

Re: Gun Builds in Progress?
Working on a Spikes lower at the moment, only need a LPK to complete then start saving for the upper and optic. After that i think I "need" a CZ bolt gun to go with my .22can.

Re: Gun Builds in Progress?
Maxon Armory DI .45ACP upper
Silenerco Osprey Suppressor
Modified CASV Rail
Meprolight M21 reflex sight
On my SBR lower that I normally keep my 5.56 upper on.
Need to decide on a stock/grip combo to place a different lower. I was originally going to use my SBRd CAV15 and greasegun mags but now am kinda against it.(bought a bunch of GG mags)
I'm thinking the rail hanging forward look wierd, probably move it back.
Also thinking of painting the whole thing.
Thinking I need to find an old school Surefire M951 for it.....

Re: Gun Builds in Progress?
Just got my 6.5 Creedmoor AR assembled and function tested. I'll sight it in next weekend. Next up is the last build- unless I can find an FAL receiver for a good price- I plan to do: 14.5" AR.

Re: Gun Builds in Progress?
Built ar-308 and have a issue, empty chamber and can rack the bolt no problem, but I chamber a round and I can't pull the charging handle open, I have to use a rubber mallet to get it started.
Is it normal for it to be that tight?

I have been thinking of a 80% lower. What jig have you used for the AR?
The 5D Tactical jig is very well designed. The nicest 80% lowers that I have run across are those sold by DSA. They go on sale periodically.
