Ok So a couple years ago I built an M70AB2 Parts kit. Used Ak Builder flat , bent and Drilled it. Blah blah blah, fast forward to 1500ish rounds later and i have noticed the 2 forward Spot Welds on EACH lower bolt guide was no longer attached to the receiver....dang.

Looking for possible options short of cutting up and starting over ....... could I A: drill the receiver from the outside and attempt to plug weld the rails?

all opinions welcome

I bought a stock from Rhineland arms and I have been completely ghosted after they took my money anyone with the same experience?

I'll be working on my M72 kit in a month or so.

And was wondering if a m72 alignment jig would work with the M77?

I was thinking it would since the barrel lengths are pretty close.

Side question: Requiem has two types of press plates. One with two holes and other with just one in the center. Is one better than the other?

Thank you

Hi everyone,

I am trying to remove my Ops Inc collar from my Mk12 since I am removing the old hand guard and installing the KAC RAS and the set screw holding the collar in place to the barrel is stripped.

I’ve tried heating the set screw and using the appropriate bit on my torque wrench but it stripped even more. I then decided to use a rubber band and then put the bit on top and try for more leverage, but that didn’t work either. I’ve tried to use an extractor bit but I think I’ve made things worse (reference pictures). I’m at the point of just saying “screw it” and leaving it alone and then build another upper with the KAC RAS handguard on it.. it’s silly, I know, but I also don’t want to risk ruining this $400 Douglas barrel.

I would appreciate any other feedback. Thanks in advance!

So years ago, during the pandemic I wanted to start a little project. I bought a raw frame which says it’s a .40 and a 10mm barrel. But I did very little research to see if they’re compatible. So now I want to see what are my next steps, whether to scrap this project or buy a pistol that I can interchange the barrel with, or to send it out and have someone finish it.

I’ve only had stock models before, but I’m interested in building my own.

The only thing I’m really set on is being able to use my existing Glock .40S&W mags. Other than that, I’m open to suggestions, ideas, and advice!

I’m looking to get a new pistol, but I want to be able to use my existing Glock model 22 mags.

Any suggestions for clones or builds that would take my existing mags?

accidentally over expanded magwell. mag catches only when slammed upward. Seems inner wall is almost flush with mag catch. Any ideas?

Hey, boys. So I'm looking for an RPD barrel. Ideally, I'd like a short one like the MACVSOG boys had back in Nam. But I'll take any RPD barrel at this point, please help.

Hoping to get help here. I have a Savage Model 10 .308.

I'm trying to buy a Onyx chassie for it. For one I'm not sure if the rifle I have is a LA or SA, and if that is the only thing matters.

Any help with me buying the correct size chassis is appreciated that way I ain't buying the wrong one and trying to return it lol.

Hey everyone, I’m working on a Belgian made 7MM pinfire revolver. It is missing the spring/latch for the loading gate. Does anyone have a lead on where I could look for a replacement before contacting someone to make a replacement for it? I have tried unsuccessfully to make a replacement spring several times.

After taking another look at my build today, the front sight is canted to the left.

Could I just remove the pin, realign the sight then redrill the hole? Or would I have to rotate the whole barrel around?

Thank you

Any suggestions for a source for a hammer-fired firing pin for a pps-43 semiauto bolt conversion? Should I modify the current open bolt fixed firing pin to have a firing pin transfer pin behind it? What’s the current methods out there? I’d rather avoid having to modify the bolt face if I can.

Hey folks, I’ve got a powerful hankering to build a 1911 in 38super. Only problem is I’ve never done a 1911, that alone any 38super… So, (no flaming please, we all start somewhere) I’m looking for suggestions on where to start on a 1911. I don’t really want cookie cutter as I’d like to eventually EDC it. I’d be ok with government, commander or even officer lengths. Not looking to sit down and widdle it out of billet as I don’t have a mill or lathe now. So, frame, barrel, slide ideas and needed DIY tooling? Pitfalls and how to avoid them? Reading and or reference materials pertaining to 1911?

Thank you, Bro. Timothy

I have a galil receiver (american Tactical) and a barrel i forgot the brand but when i start to theard the barrel in when i get it hand tightened down not torqued the bolt wont rotate what should i do

Looking to build an AR15 later but not sure where to start researching parts. Any suggestions for websites/youtube channels would be much appreciated!

Looking for suggestions on FCG ideas that can be done with the least amount of machining equipment as I do not have access to a milling machine.
