Call this guy, he's a local gun smith and builds great AK's.  I already emailed him your ebay auction info so you may be getting an email from him soon.

Thanks...

What does this thing do?

[Harley]

It bends the sheet metal receiver flats into shape like the pictures he has on the auction.  So you can by the receiver flats without an FFL and then bend them into a formed receiver, rivet the remaining parts together and build an AK.  You need a good press to use it though, it's not for the average person wanting to build their own gun.

Thanks, Harley well said

I bought this jig  to build the hard to get AKs like the AKU74 krink in .223 (with USA parts and barrel extension intalled of course) and AK 101, Its a good investment but you have to make sure you follow the
ATFs rules to the T when you build one..I love my guns but there is a fine line between whats legal and illegal

[Harley]

So how many did you build with it and how did they turn out.  I know sometimes there is a practice period where you end up scrapping some flats in the process of getting it all down pat.

LOL, Most of my Screw ups came long before I bought the jig, So I had that part down,
but I would say 1 maybe 2 flats, I still built them up.I just threw them in my safe for future use,
If I was to rate the build on a scale 1 to 10 I would say its a 5 with all the right tooling and an
8 if you dont have the tooling,

Theres nothing more gratifying then shooting your build  for the first time.
That first trigger pull.
knowing that you turned a flat piece of steel into a firearm.   WOoooooooo
and knowing it could go boom in your FACE OOOUCH..

Harley, I think I spark an interest LOL

for all you that would like to know more about this or any other Homesmithing  
this is a very good site

Naw, I have no desire to bend my own flats and try to do the riviting.  My friend Derek has a great shop in Gilbert and I'd rather pay him to do it right the first time for me.  By the way you should check out his shop and some of his post dealer sample guns.  He's got everything from a 1919A4, to a Krink.

hey guys I dont know why I didnt post this here first, but I have an ak47 flat bending jig up for sale on ebay.

For you guys that do not know about this it can help you turn a 80% flat into a 95% bent flat with the help of a press, I would trade(airsoft items like a sniper rifle)  or cash, you guys have first dibs over Ebay http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Mf ... 3675519166
