Greasing both sides of the flat helps (actually reloading release (105 Lanolin 10% Alcohol) works well. Thanks for the information!

[@keyascii]

I really enjoy this series so far. Something I'd like to do one day, but tooling and space are issues.

[@IggyTheReaper]

You have the clamped on portion on backwards, the machined side should face the flat. Might be why you had difficulty getting it off. Just FYI

[@Johnny-jr2lq]

Absolutely awesome video series on building a AK from the ground up. I watched A LOT of videos not this subject. And none of them were this clear on the process.

I wear flip flops when building too.

My girlfriend wore flip flops when using my dremel. This was after me complaining about my hands littered with invisible slivers. Idk what's worse, hands or feet slivers for month.

These are really awesome clear detailed videos I'm about to start piecing together my first AK still gathering some of the tools and now I need a part's kit

Love it man! Thanks for doing this step by step AK series.

[@recceshoe6911]

My dog goes nuts when you release the press.

[@jacktheaviator4938]

You REALLY need to get yourself some press blocks, pressing directly on the die is a sure way to warp it. And if you spread out the force with a block you can start in the middle and not move around as much.

[@robavis4906]

Pretty cool baby face. Thanks for showin this. Look forward to the rest of this series

[@IggyTheReaper]

Just want to say AWESOME video series, I have been referencing it! Thanks for doing it

[@maverick4080]

I like using the first AK-Builder flat bending jig that came out years ago.

[@rs-nk8cf]

Would love to see you do an imi uzi build. I did a long time ago but I used a demilled receiver, cut it and welded on the new parts using a welding jig. But I also made a reciever from a 80 percent flat and a bending jig with a 12 ton press, just preferred the weld set up.

[@jackbarnes9728]

Always better if the ram is center of the work.

[@pixamite1]

In the words of the Strange one, Very Cool P. Now I have a much better understanding of this bending process. Keep up the great work dude.

Any chance you could upload part 3 again? It seems to be missing.

[@shanel4348]

I second this! Not being able to see the riveting process is lame; Hopefully KZbin's guidelines didn't have it taken down or something like that.

[@123andme]

Grease both sides. Looks like a cool build.

[@TheFlanman10]

Dude... Im like 99% sure you put the retainer on the flat upside down. You want the machined part against the flat so it helps spring back.

[@growleym504]

So, does it cost more to bend the receiver than to just buy an AK? I think most guys are only going to make one or two. I do like your videos, but honestly the build method seems impractical and not cost effective at all unless you form a pass-around club for the dies. An 80% AR build, comparatively, is a lot cheaper for the tooling, I think. I could be wrong, I don't know. I think I would really like to see a video using a welded receiver rather than a bent one. Or milled? Would aluminum work? Or would it be too soft? I did an aluminum AR 80% and the process was fairly straightforward with a jig, and could be do-able without a jig, especially with a Chinese mini-mill or a very well set up router table.

[@BabyFaceP]

It's cheaper to buy one than to make one. It's far more valuable to be able to make one than to buy one.

[@mikehunt5934]

Why didn't you put "release" agent on the inside of the receiver to make it easier to remove it from the die?

[@filipcipko1574]

[@financingmysteries]

Really good series. I have a question though. I’m on AK-Builder and see different types of flats. I see the difference between under-fold receivers and fixed stock. However what’s the difference between for example Bulgarian, Polish, Romanian, etc? Having trouble choosing the correct flat.

[@BabyFaceP]

Some counties used different thicknesses of steel. Do you know what country your parts kit came from?

[@financingmysteries]

Baby Face P This is my plan. Buy a flat that’s 1mm thick then purchase the other parts. At least with my AR build I bought everything individually you can customize it the way you want. Which is what I want to do with my AK. So I most likely won’t buy a parts kit.

[@BabyFaceP]

@@financingmysteries The 1mm is standard so that should work.

[@heaven-is-real]

Yugo (Yugoslavian AK) is 1.5mm, everything else is 1.0mm

[@fantasyfootballgrinder5605]

Why don't you use a wood block in between the press and the dye?

[@balakishakis6614]

Legal loophole to sell guns without paying fees? Have someone come over to your garage and guide them through building their own ak. Let them keep it and "ask them for free money". Would this work or no?

[@BabyFaceP]

As long as the user makes the receiver themselves it's totally legal.

[@Adamz678]

10:41 those are for receiver reinforcement/strength, nothing to do with magazine wobble/clearance.

[@heaven-is-real]

Wrong. They give side support to the magazine. How do I know this? Instead of dimples the WASR uses spot welded side plates instead of dimples. Additional plates spot welded in to give side support to the magazine. I know because a friend of mine owned a WASR-3, one of the plates fell out after firing it a couple times, then the magazine wobbled all over the place causing serious jamming problems.

[@nickt423]

You should do a VZ 58 build!

After the shaping of the body many AK builders do a treatment in a high temperature oven, I see that you have not done it, how come?

I know this question has been asked many times. There's not a lot of information here, unless I missed the discussion. I need drawings for AK47. I want to start manufacturing spare parts. I know some of you have old books and/or access to printable drawings in pdf format Any help is appreciated.

Can you not just keep the press over the middle of the top of the die? instead of going back and forth from side to side?

YES, YOU CAN. I just layed out my center and hit center with the shaft. works fine.

[@BrianHAviation]

I always heard the milled receivers were better than these stamped. What is your opinion on that assumption?

[@BabyFaceP]

Milled is stiffer but stamped works just fine. None of my AK's are precision tools so the flex you get with the stamped doesn't matter to me.

Regarding the bending die set, what's the difference with the 1mm punch and the 1.5mm punch option?

Some of the countries used different gauge sheet metal for their receivers. I've only build on standard 1mm receivers so far.

[@ricknichols3724]

I just purchased an AK47 Romanian kit, first off from the photo of the parts kit it looks like the front trunion does not have 3 pre-drilled out holes, do I need to drill out the 2 missing holes and if I do should I purchase a receiver with the holes in it and just follow the pattern with the trunion? Second would I want to use a 1mm receiver for it? This is my first attempt and after watching your videos I decided I wanted to give it a try.

[@paulfrehley7352]

I'm always fascinated by your carelessness in forgetting basic methodology, you only greased the *exterior* of the flat....using steel punches & hammers (marring/denting the receiver) when the obvious tool is a plastic/rubber hammer bit.....clamping crucial parts in a vise without using any kind of protective padding, etc...etc... Man, I really get a lot of info & help from your videos, but the aforementioned shit drives me nuts! I would strangle a gunsmith who was so careless with a customer's material(s).

what size bending jig would i need for a yugom70

[@GSDjrbites]

Is it a fixed stock or an underfolder? The M70 fixed with the bulged front trunion use the 1.5 mm. I got an underfolder that uses 1mm but its an early M70. If you got questions and are shopping on AKBuilder just call Lonnie and talk to him. He is a great guy and a wealth of information. I have spoken to him a few times with some pretty dumb questions and he took the time to explain it. Now I'm a know it all...just ask me lol JK. I bought both 1mm and 1.5 cuz I have an assortment of models that I am building. Was like 65 bucks for the other size piece after purchasing the 1.5 mm. Money well spent.
