beltfed AK

[Pirate]

There are a few guys building these on Gunco. they are using mg42 / mg3 feed covers & trays. they are to big for the 7.62 x 39 round So I got an rpd feed setup for this one to keep it small & compact.

basically the receiver is just some steel tubing with parts made from sheet metal and tubing.

LMFAO

the promo work never ends. :mrgreen:

[Pirate]

Duti, this project is YOU!! :mrgreen:

get a romanian ak kit asap!! I will send you a material list.

[dutigaf]

folks for translation effect for those of you who dont know.....

that means that my good friend Pirate is about to get some more of my kids college money.

it also means that this must be a simple build if he is thinking i can do it.


:shock:

[Kali Komrade]

the problem is belts / links for the rounds. once I finish this one I plan on loking into a 5.45 setup.

:shock:

actually this is mostly stuff you will get else where
an ak kit
rpd feed cover & tray
tubing & sheet metal
mg42 grip with a fal fcg setup.

once I get it all figured out I will post a material list and patterns dwgs etc for those of you who want to do one.

[dutigaf]

oh so i got to buy another FAL GRIP set up from ya eh???

you should be getting good at those by now! LOL



PEOPLE: that was me busting Pirates balls a little bit....


he is super at his work and its way way beyond questioning.

Ah dammit Pirate I think i am gonna have to tie you up and slow you down holy crap I several AK's to build and have 30 rivet kits coming in now a belt feed ak holy crap would go good with the ammo I am buying woot woot... your the best stan :beer:

[Slick]

Dang Pirate! I sure wish I had your imagination (and building skills) for all these project that you come up with! :hail: Very cool indeed..

[1919_4_ME]

This should be good and my welder is all warmed up already... :coffee:

[Pirate]

I worked on this a little more today. I fitted the grip and redid the rear for the top cover latch. it feeds ok so the next step will be modifying the bolt carrier to operate the feed lever, then cut the ejection port and slot for the cocking handle.

I have started drawings to get some parts fabricated once I have all the proper dimentions worked out so it will look like a profesional build not a bodge job!

[dutigaf]

well you just ruled me out didnt ya bub???



all my builds look like botch jobs.

[rugman59]

Alright ,you got my attention.I'm watching you guys!Looks interesting. :beer:

[Kali Komrade]

Okay I finally got to read this a couple of times now... So I take it I'm lookin' for a RPD topcover and feed tray assembly...

Now obviously this will feed the RPD belts then... unlike the project on gunco that likes the MG3 belts...

Any idea on the buffer and stock end of the gun... A SAW style fal stock would look nice... but then you'd have to run a rat tail like on the fal bolt...

[Pirate]

I just got a G3 stock, you can also use the ak stock.

I have made a new receiver and will post some photos and dimentions.

Okay here's a question... Okay I know your working on the RPD semi setup too Pirate... From a pratical stand point if you don't have an extra RPD top cover would it just be easier for a slub like me just to pick up an RPD kit and just build a Semi Auto RPD...:shrug:

A little off topic but with the RPD semi conversion your working on would be working with the receiver chunks or and 80% receiver

Yeah right... Where's my Mr. Monopoly guy smiley when I need one :fuckyou:

Dude I'm just trying to get my danged head on straight... Probibly going the RPD route I'm thinkin' will be the best... But what Pirates doing is very cool :headbang:

[GUNRUNNER5150]

so when your done with mine are you gonna build yourself one? :coffee: just kidding, love the idea of a belt fed ak, wish i could afford 2k for a rpd.
