I'm hoping to do a Khyber pass in .223 soon. I'm currently trying to save to buy a gen 1 Galil rifle in .223 and convert it to take original rock n lock mags and Galil mag catch and grip and that's gonna be a fair amount of money. It'll look much like klayco47's Galil he converted to rock and lock. I already did a Galil SAR reweld and a yugo m64 reweld and it's got me hungry for more AK builds.
@@BabyFaceP I bought a reweld combo jig for Galil and Yugo's and it makes it pretty easy. My first reweld was the Galil SAR. I used copper to back the welds to soak up heat and stop the weld from bubbling into the receiver so grinding down welds isn't such a pain on the inside of the receiver.
EDIT- UA-cam just removed Video 2 of this series, but you can still find it here- utreon.com/v/d7_gTAU1RzK Massive thank you to www.recreatorblanks.com/online-store for getting us the parts to make this happen. FYI Toth Tools now makes blocks for the rivet jaws (www.tothtool.com/Support-Plates-for-Rivet-Jaws-_p_96.html) that allow the jaws to go deeper into the receiver. I'm going to mill the ones I have so will work.
Love your content, man. Been following your builds for 2+ years now. What'd you do to squash the trigger rivets on an 80% with the internal rails already welded in? I just discovered the little plate from the AK-builder jig doesn't really fit in the receiver with the rails already welded in. I was thinking of filing the plate down a bit. What did you do? Before this build, I always built from flats and riveted the trigger guard before spot welding the rails.
@@BabyFaceP thats what I'm doing too. But I had a idea. It we had access to a accurate 3d model/ stl of a aug receiver we could cast one with a lost pla method
@@bordgamer5555 I have the cad files, I found them a few months ago. There are a number of challenges that would have to be overcome. The primary issue is that there seem to be some differences between the semi-auto and full auto receivers (or at least the stocks). The parts kits have the FA stocks, while the cad file is for the SA receiver. The casting process would generally require the following. 1. The cad file would have to be optimized for printing (possibly separated into multiple pieces), sliced and printed 2. The printed receiver would then need to be compared with a functional SA receiver and stock to verify the dimensions 3. The design would then be modified in cad to fit the FA stock (a functioning design would probably require multiple iterations). 4. The design must be optimized in cad for casting, and a casting method selected (likely requiring many more iterations) 5. Once a receiver is cast, it would require finish machining. As you can see, it would be no small task. Machining from raw hot rolled steel, cold rolled steel or extrusions may be options, as well as metal 3d printing, but these methods would present their own unique challenges.
What di you think about casting ar lowers uppers .i think everything can be casted except barrel,bolt carrier and bolt trigger system what do you think
Very underrated channel you deserve more subscribers
seriously.

I've always wanted to try my hand at a reweld.

Great stuff
Cool To Watch 🤠👍
I built one almost identical to yours with an all ak builder setup (tooling and reciver) Next im trying to make a 74... If I can even find the parts
UA-cam take down part 2?
A little tip, you shouldn’t be hammering that long rivet, you should had file around that hole and it should fit in smoothly
what tool is that that you used to install the rivets? the one with the red handle
Khyberpass love khyberpass fans
Anyway you could link to where you got those large pliers for riveting?
The bolt cutters are from Harbor Freight, the jaws are from Toth- www.tothtool.com/Rivet-Jaws-for-24-Bolt-Cutters_p_10.html
How'd you end up doing the bottom rear rivets? I'm struggling lol
It looks like he didn't install that one at all, just moved the rivet tool over it and realized it wouldn't reach and called it a day.
👍👍👍 راع جدن
Bonjour chef ! Super vidéo 👏🏼 merci.
Je suis le même travail,
Je cherche la taille des rivet ? Vous pouvez avoir cette information ?
What happened to the 2nd video?

Need ak 47 flat 1 pc sir. Delivery
Ever considered a aug build?
I'm holding out hope for the 3D printed Aug build that is being developed.
@@BabyFaceP thats what I'm doing too. But I had a idea. It we had access to a accurate 3d model/ stl of a aug receiver we could cast one with a lost pla method
And parts kit is obvious
@@bordgamer5555 I would love to see that happen!
