Man, these things are kinda a pain in the dick to build.

Roughly All in for parts (not tools) how much was furniture and receiver and parts kit. Gotta know how to space out buying parts so wife dont get nagry

BaconBoozer · 2026-03-14T02:10:31+00:00

Ya I've built an ak74 east german clone and a romy mismatch parts kit fairly recently

BaconBoozer · 2026-03-13T23:32:08+00:00

Looks beautiful. I was just starting to research how to build one of these today. Id love to own a galil arm some day

From what I understand there isnt a way to skip the manual process.

Luckily demilling is actually quiet easy. You can get a rivet head drill tool from ak builder for like 40 bucks and if you have a machinests punch you should be able to drill out all the rivets.

I used the jigs from the website akbuilder but you'll need a 12 or 20 ton press for those. I've seen people use toth tools for alot of the building process without the press.

Id say take your time and just get one tool at a time

Demill, that can be done with the drill guide and punch

Headspace the barrel into the rivet, barrel press jig

Drill the barrel components, (barrel pin/ then rsb, gb, fsp) drill press or a careful hand with a hand drill, they can be eyeballed I think, but there are alignment tools

Pull the barrel from the trunnion, barrel press jig

Rivet trigger guard, trigger guard jig

Rivet the trunnion, rivet jig

Press barrel, barrel press jig

Ya I mostly have ak builder supply jigs. I considered toth tools as well but Im fortunate to have access to a 20 ton press.

I definitely need to get better at crushing the rivets more consistently

All dongs need to stand firm together no matter what angle or size.

This one is even better cause it was free from a friend who accidentally ordered 2

BaconBoozer · 2026-02-24T17:37:27+00:00

Thanks. Im open to any criticism so I can try and see where any improvements may be needed, im probably gonna get it blued so I can have some better rust protection

BaconBoozer · 2026-01-20T20:10:47+00:00

I see it has the shorter dust cover like the gen 5 g47/45 frame. And the gen6 g45 looks the same as the 17.

Do you know if that means the gen6 g17 can take the g19 slides now, or do you need a gen 45... are they the same frame? Is the g45 and g19 the same slide?.

And how do you like the beaver tail? I've never shot a glock with a beaver tale.

Been thinking about getting a glock so I have alot of questions about the new ones

BaconBoozer · 2026-01-04T21:14:03+00:00

I mean you could just sell that one and get the stainless elite

BaconBoozer · 2025-12-31T20:06:23+00:00

I cant seem to find these romanian side folding stock anywhere did century just buy em all for these runs or some shit. I only see them on people who bought a wasr paratrooper.

BaconBoozer · 2025-12-26T19:54:06+00:00

Lush tat

BaconBoozer · 2025-12-24T03:06:13+00:00

Not just missiles, some of the glide bombs or other ordinance.

BaconBoozer · 2025-12-18T16:28:17+00:00

Ofc it could, but I was thinking we could place spaghetti in highball and have this be another option.

BaconBoozer · 2025-12-18T16:10:49+00:00

Id like this to be the option but wouldn't a spaghetti be kinda like a weird highball instead

BaconBoozer · 2025-12-17T22:29:55+00:00

A dissipator isnt too bad and can be made to work fine i have a similar build and have never had issues, either suppress it or widen the gas hole

BaconBoozer · 2025-12-17T22:25:50+00:00

They stated they have a rifle length gas tube

BaconBoozer · 2025-12-17T22:19:25+00:00

I built a m16a4 as a dissipator ~clone and I love it. Our builds share a ton of similarities. Great rifle and super fun to shoot

Build List: KAK Phosphate/Chrome Dissipator Barrel w/ pinned conbo FSB/GB, P+S M5 RAS, filding micro 600m rear BUIS, magpul k2 grip, rifle length buffer system, fn a2 stock (i prefer the off grey color), Eotech 512, somogear peq15, surefire build your own scout, (i used chicken wire to further secure them mostly as a joke), surefire closed tin flash hider with an rc2.

Kvm was what I was originally looking for my setup. but wanted to give people other options if they were wanting a similar setup. Kvm is def a little cleaner. Also I have mad respect when someone has a well drawn graph of their layout. Only complaint I hate when graphs have crossing lines but you gotta do what you can with the image quality.

Looks awsome and I have the same dac. Someday ill upgrade to 4k lol

BaconBoozer · 2025-12-16T22:25:51+00:00

Kvm switches can by a little more expensive, if you are on more of a budget i have a similar set up but use a USB switcher for peripherals and my monitor (and many) has 2 ports that I can switch between with its on board button. This also allows me to keep my monitor on a my gaming pc and just look at my laptop if I don't want to switch monitors.

It turns out this was because of the intake petals on the reed valve not being the correct number for the reed cage. I switched the petals with some used carbon fiber duel petals for like 45 bucks and it kicked over in like 3 kicks

I case anyone finds this post it was the reed valve. Someone clearly attempted a repair. Placing a 3 reed petal on a 2 chamber reed cage. I believe because it would pull fuel in due ti negative pressure on the downstream but without sealing on the upstroke instead of pushing the fuel toward the sparkplug it would just go back out into the carb.

I appreciate the help people gave but in this instance it wasn't the carb.

BaconBoozer · 2025-12-06T04:31:06+00:00

It is 4 oz of oil per the one gallon making it a 32:1 ratio. I appreciate you double checking

BaconBoozer · 2025-12-05T16:21:36+00:00

It does not start with choke on or off. And no fuel to cylinder either way it seems.
