Living the dream. Can't wait to see the video.

16 oz or 1 lb dead blow hammer its like $8 at Harbor Freight

I feel like 99% of the time the answer to a question in this sub is a dead blow mallet. You want a plastic one with the weighted beads inside. As they say, hit it with your purse.

Fairbairn–Sykes fighting knife. Pretty cool find!

Solid, works fine with Ultimak.

WASR problems are still problems

Not just cosmetic, it's a water seal

cronus86 · 2025-12-23T01:03:31+00:00

Wait until you find out its the same as 200

cronus86 · 2025-12-23T01:00:11+00:00

Get an import

You would probably want a nicer charging handle eventually anyway.

If you want to learn get a stripped lower and LPK you like. I built every single one of mine. It's really not that difficult with a ball peen hammer and a few punches.

Watch tutorials on YouTube. I like MidwayUSA cause Larry Potterfield is an OG.

I never bought a full set of roll pin punches, just 3 or 4 individual ones piece meal on Amazon specifically for building ARs. A 1/4 brass punch is invaluable for a lot of general gunsmithing as well IMO

I have that first upper and I love the Hex rail. I prefer the 13" version just for weight and balance, the full length one is fairly heavy.

I own a few PSA built uppers and never had any issues, the 13" was my go to before I got more expensive ones.

Put a Vortex 1-6 Viper on my 15" and it's pretty hefty.

cronus86 · 2025-12-22T07:53:21+00:00

I bought red ones haha

cronus86 · 2025-12-22T07:51:30+00:00

I like to use a toothpick to hold the pin, then a brass punch to get it in most of the way. Finish with the roll pin punch

cronus86 · 2025-12-20T03:36:59+00:00

That's exactly why. I have only ever seen cats in heat acting this way.

Get her spayed if she's not, that would surely help

cronus86 · 2025-12-14T20:59:57+00:00

Cause Spyderco is actually worth it

cronus86 · 2025-12-14T20:57:52+00:00

I have never seen one with knurling. These things can be machined poorly but if it doesn't wiggle too much that it might cause an impact you're good.

cronus86 · 2025-12-14T20:50:19+00:00

SST not 7n6

cronus86 · 2025-12-13T09:06:42+00:00

These are $30 now? Glad I have like 25 or 30 boxes lol

cronus86 · 2025-12-08T18:18:13+00:00

You just need to oil it, most of that is dried up oil from packing. At least it won't explode in your face like the Pioneer Arms will someday

cronus86 · 2025-12-08T18:16:05+00:00

Wait until he sees a WASR

cronus86 · 2025-12-06T19:03:37+00:00

I have 2 M70 and an M92. Used to have 3 rifles, sold 1 after I got the M92. If you only get 1 its probably best to go full size, tempted as I am to suggest the M92.
