you can make ad possess any fuck'n thing you like and long as you don try to sell it with out the propper paperwork, from a political standpoint, if that don't sound like nazi germany i don't know what does, freedom is enforced if you cant out gun a fledgling tyrant freedom doesn't stand a chance.
Supercomet32: The Army made changes to the M16 based on ease of loading ball propellant vs IMR flake propellant at LC. This changed the pressure curve in the gas system. Add in not training the troops on how to clean it, and it had some initial teething problems. Typically, someone insisting it "always" jams has either never fired one, or was poorly trained. As to whether or not I fired one in the military, my record is rather public since I write books on this subject. Later, dude;-)
Kasenit hardens the surface of the metal and does work just fine. Also if you build on a flat you will need to trim the top rails for the carrier. An AK is NOT an AR,. You build an AK, you assemble an AR. Oh the holes should use a water quench with lots of dish soap and salt added. You can use oil and that will carberize the surface but if you intend to Phosphate (Parkerize) the oil quench will fuck up the finish. The lower rails also need to be welded. And don't forget the swell neck rivets.
The press is cheap. I paid 120 for mine shipped. You can build on an NDS or other type receiver but you'll need a 4473 form. You will have great gun with minimal BS. What sucks about flat builds is theres fitting invloved. The front trunnion, the lower rails need to fit just right to have the bolt slide and lock up properly. You will need to heat treat the FCG axis pin holes and the ejector. You can heat to 1650f and quench to harden, then bring back up to 700-750f to annel. Or use Kasenit
AR 15 lower receiver - precision CNC milled, expensive chunk of aluminium, precision holes, precision every thing AK receiver - cut a few holes, and bend the bloody sheet of metal, puchase parts online, done
You can cast an ar out of pop cans and beer cans purchase parts online readily available.... you know how hard it is to find parts compatability and headspace an ak, If not than you don't know the struggles. I could assemble an ar for the most part blindfolded. The ak rifle is simple yet sophisticated at the same time, everything from metallurgy to dimpling and riveting.
Impressive. I wish I could freakin build fully automatic weapons o.O. And that important part took u lil more than 5 minutes. But an AK is an AK. It takes a lot of love to get it done by hand. In afghanistan they make many guns by hand.. Sten gun, Ak, Lee Einfeld, PK machinegun (!!!), some handguns. And other self designed guns.
Easy as pie. Get an ak flat off of ak builder.com, have a welder, angle grinder, awl and straight edge, score the corners with the awl, score the corners with the angle grinder, tap and bend crisp with the hammer, tack weld along each crisp corner. Can't get simpler than this.
Yes, there are rules, those rules not only vary by state, but there are numerous federal rules that cover AOW and SBR's. It's a quagmire. Selling a gun you built is not a crime provided you didn't build it with the intent to sell. Sell one or two over the years and your fine... sell a bunch and you're gonna be in trouble if the ATF gets wind of it. Do your homework if you want to build and stay legal. For instance, you can't build an AK with more than 10 imported "bad" parts. (Section 922r)
how about the tools and bits to grind off and punch old rivets? sandblaster to properly prep the receiver? real gun finish? new rivets? rivet pressing jigs? headspace gauges? (unless you want to blow out an eyeball)
@thephilchannel He is making a receiver from a flat piece of sheet metal that has been stamped. They are called flats, than you bend them into the receiver shape.
@JohneyAmerica Yeah, the AR is a really good target rifle. I'd rather have an FAL or M-14 as I said I like .308. The AK is a great rifle that just keeps running.
Considering the fact that unless you are an FFL07/SOT you can't even BUILD a class 3 weapon other than a SBR/AOW, it's a moot point. SBR's and AOW's have their own rules... but a regular rifle or pistol (depending on how you build your gun is not subject to tax.) I could quote all day from that site, but the point is (and one that I should have acknowledged Lord666Belial for getting right) is that YOU need to know the law before you do try to sell or transfer any weapon.
I think you mean God bless Mikhail Kalashnikov. But yes, also God bless America, for being one of the few countries where stamping out your very own AK47 is legal.
all that metal on metal pounting and pressure seems to rough the surface up pretty bad.. and pre-drilled trunion holes is a risk because they dont always match up with the trunion, best to dril after the trunions been fitted
You can't press them because AR receivers are not stamped steel, that's fairly obvious. If you know anyone with a 3D printer you can manufacture your own lower receiver with plastic. If has been done before.
the 7.62 round has more power, but it's heavier, and causes more recoil. Both rifles are good. But you can't look at just power. In real world situations, like dust, sand, dirt, mud, water, the AK 47 is going to shine for the unconventional Fighter. The M16 and all variants are these perfect machines for a perfect world, which we don't live in. Both rifles have a good standing point, but any gun is better than no gun at all
no u cant press ar receivers but you can buy em 80% lower with no ffl and use a drill to drill out some holes......sounds easy which 8in turn is if you have the right tools but if ya got just a drill its gona take a few days and some patiences...its a pain....but unregistered and no ffl and LEGAL and CHEAP....but a pain in the ass
Seth was correct, he said "ar-10" and not m16. AR-10 fires .308 and the m16 uses 223 rem.5.56. ak uses 7.62x39, more powerful than the 223 but not as powerful as the .308
i know from experience when i say unless you already have the tools, its going to cost a lot more to build one than buy one, so its only worth it for those that build many, or those who already have the equipment
Muy instructivo, armemos en rifle de asalto en casa!!, eso si, que no nos agarre un conflicto belico a mitad camino porque no llegamos mas a este paso!!
I thought about building one off a kit, and then doing a receiver like this but someone told me id need to get a headspace tool? Is that part hard to do? I know what its for but just curious of the difficulty involved in it.
This will be a semi-auto version, in compliance with US law. Building your own legal receiver means no paperwork, no excise tax, and money saved if you don't mind doing the work. Building a full auto would be illegal.
That an arbor press would fit on a a bench, my middle school had a really nice sheet metal brake that looked and worked just like one. Has anyone done this with a bench top brake?
lol yeah.. my buddy gage said he raided what was supposed to be an illegal gun factory in iraq, says that all they had was some chunks of steel, hammers, some patterns, a few old AK barrels and gas parts, and a shit load of files, and drill bits, oh and a few hand drills... and these guys were pumping out AK-47 parts and guns like it was easy cake... im like... UH... HOW?
The things people forget is that all gun designs start out in a garage of some sort. If you cut away the counter engineering of the firearm (special grooves, curves, and profiling cuts which have no actual function), you will see all small arms are very simple devices. That said, a lot of guns in the middle east aren't truly from scratch. Some are, but lots of them are parts or incomplete/damaged weapons they get from battlefield pickups or sold by other countries. Real "from scratch" work can be seen in southern asia and South America, where there is very little official importation of firearm related goods.
It looks like those are machined hardened steel flats not something you would pick up from a local service center. Probably a tool and die maker can build those flats.
@ConcealedFirepower It is indeed NOT a firearm until bent. You can in theory serialize the receiver and sell the gun, though if you are caught making the guns for the specific purpose of selling you are now in the criminal realm.
A well made AK74 will put down 3 moa compared to an M-4's 2 moa. There isn't much practical difference. AK iron sights suck though. I prefer a Kobra sight. I can hit paper plates at 150 yards off-hand with my WASR-10 AK with a Kobra.
Technically this is an AKM reciever, since the original AK-47 recievers were milled out of steel castings. It was only with the M update in the 50s that they started making them out of stamped steel actually. But never mind, this is an interesting video and I never realised it was so simple to make one of these. Now the question is, how difficult is it to make an Armalite?
And then this happens /watch?v=oid33TqS1QI By the way, you need an entirely new bolt carrier if you want full auto, or it will fire out of battery (and when that happens - link above). It requires a small bump that trips the auto sear, and you can't just add it in unless you got mad welding skills and precision tools. Otherwise I wouldn't trust it to hold up.
Well, cite me the statutes smart guy. Federal taxes for firearms would only be applicable for interstate commerce. As far as state law goes, you are liable for tax any time you sell property. Correct me if I am wrong, but provide citations and documented facts.
What does that have to do with the first comment? Technically your comment argues FOR and AK receiver because they just pick up a finished gun and go, no assembly required.
Oddly, I've carried M16s, A1s, A2s, A3s, M4s, XM177s and a dozen civilian AR15s for 23 years. I've never had a reliability problem apart from a couple of mags with damaged lips (which were 20+ years old when issued to me). I guess it depends on whether the soldier is a 3rd world illiterate peasant or a professional...
@Bread996 mikhal kalashnikov made his prototypes in a friggin barn dude. he'd have been happy to have this level of crap. lol. where there's a will there's a way, ya know?
@starwarsman96 yeah thats what ive gathered from endless searching. I just didnt want to build something, then go get killed in a car wreck and by default leave my loved ones in possession of a now illegal firearm. Seems the occasional transfer is OK, and actually there was a bit on history channel about just this with a a guy that builds 80% receivers in Montana. Rather be safe than sorry you know?
No, it's the amount of bad parts that count. You can have no more than 10 imported parts, and actually most "good" parts are actually a little better than the original ones... Take a 2 stage trigger, new muzzle brake/flash hider, or furniture for mounting toys. Morons came up with 922(r) Fortunately they don't get it.
"You can't make a gun and bypass government law, it's too expensive and percise!"
Said anyone who hasn't done a days worth of research or thought.
you can make ad possess any fuck'n thing you like and long as you don try to sell it with out the propper paperwork, from a political standpoint, if that don't sound like nazi germany i don't know what does, freedom is enforced if you cant out gun a fledgling tyrant freedom doesn't stand a chance.
In Pakistan they do this with a hammer and a pair of pliers.
I did mine Pakistani style
They do, while sitting on the ground , or pile of dirt ,and sand. Stools ,and workbenches take up too much room I guess !!!
Do you have a video of it or post the link
The end is always the best. When you see the finished product. Nice work.
@RadicalApex
I don't see how building a weapon could be simplier than this. Even a Sterling can be a bit more complex.
you need to thread a sterling.

True. This happens to some Chinese made AKs as well. Quality control. Still, this does happen. People convert semi-auto into full auto.

Welcome. I'm currently deployed to the Sandbox and having no issues with my weapon. Graphite lube and occasional dustoff.
how about the tools and bits to grind off and punch old rivets? sandblaster to properly prep the receiver? real gun finish? new rivets? rivet pressing jigs? headspace gauges? (unless you want to blow out an eyeball)
@thephilchannel He is making a receiver from a flat piece of sheet metal that has been stamped. They are called flats, than you bend them into the receiver shape.
Great video man. This should be posted on AK47 . net 's forums.
i hope he heat treated the steel to harden it after bending because bending will cause metal fatique to weaken the steel.. heat treating fixes that
@JohneyAmerica Yeah, the AR is a really good target rifle. I'd rather have an FAL or M-14 as I said I like .308. The AK is a great rifle that just keeps running.

Can you build an 155mm Cannon?
Muy instructivo, armemos en rifle de asalto en casa!!, eso si, que no nos agarre un conflicto belico a mitad camino porque no llegamos mas a este paso!!
You can buy stripped upper and lower receivers and build from there but you can't press out AR receivers can you?
I enjoyed your vid have you got the plans or drawings I can't find any plans
thanks
bill
Maybe that would explain why I've seen so many explode in the users hands.
@@Lvl18Meep Lol
I'm sure a guy with the equipment and know how also has the lisence.
All I did with mine was score the bend areas with an angle grinder. bend it crisply, then weld it back together.
I thought about building one off a kit, and then doing a receiver like this but someone told me id need to get a headspace tool? Is that part hard to do? I know what its for but just curious of the difficulty involved in it.
Thanx for this video btw. It is quite helpful.
@Duckyistrippin yes you can you cant build to sell without a license but if you built it and after a while you dont want it you can sell it
What paper work do you need to get a serial number? and where can you get it punched onto the receiver?
dont you need a ffl to buy the reciever? been looking online and cant find anybody who will sell one without a ffl
This will be a semi-auto version, in compliance with US law. Building your own legal receiver means no paperwork, no excise tax, and money saved if you don't mind doing the work. Building a full auto would be illegal.
what is the tipo of metal do you use?, stamped i guess but his thikness?? Thank you.
@Storm469 Both are great rifles. only problem is they have a ton of recoil
neat ive always wanted to see how they are made
How would you go blind? Bearing press, safety glasses, if you know how to use the tools involved, you know enough not to get hurt.
There’s something magical called accidents ever heard of them
That an arbor press would fit on a a bench, my middle school had a really nice sheet metal brake that looked and worked just like one. Has anyone done this with a bench top brake?
Yes, you just have to follow the rules.
Great job. Thanks, this is all the info I need.

very good job my friend, very good job

Muito bom, como faria um magazin tipo uzi, existe gabarito para o mesmo.
Great vid!
@TKKskynyrd home builds don't require registration.
Is this whole process legal???
Because if it is , I'll be supplying my own little army pretty soon
LaRue can I join your army lol
@ConcealedFirepower It is indeed NOT a firearm until bent. You can in theory serialize the receiver and sell the gun, though if you are caught making the guns for the specific purpose of selling you are now in the criminal realm.
how many millimeter?
Will this still be legal if the gun ban goes into effect?
@pullnshoot25 but you cant ever sell them

ok got it so i could be the barrel or the shells ejejctor (i don't know how is called in english coz i'm italian)
you think this is a heavy duty press, it probably got a 10 ton car jack providing the power
The Pakistanis doesn't even use all these tools to build a AK, all they have is anvil punch and hammer.
but what is it thie receiver??

well thats good
As long as it is not for sale.

I thought it was legal to engrave your own serial number
What jig is that?

Can you send me one ready made ?
I think he means he can sell it to someone and have an ffl do the transfer lol I doubt anyone would sell a fully built ak as "cash and carry" lol
Shot in blurry, hard to see what he's doing, 240p
so this is how babies are made.... O.o
Shouldn't David Beckham be in this video?

iS IT?
@Paganwarrior2000 but once u got the machinery build some more and sell :D
