AK 47 Fold-able Stock Modification !

       This is a pretty straight forward job , mild Steel , some fusion welds some Plug welds .
I am not a gun guy, that being said if you know what you want I can weld it.
 This was a 3 hour job as I had to watch the heat input as to not remove the temper in the top rails !



 These are the tools that I used to do the job. A "third hand" to avoid arc strikes , brass backing with holes drilled oversized to the hole to be welded.  These served as argon traps for 100% penetration and, limited the distance of the finished weld penetration. 
The finished project only required that the surface of the weldements be sanded to a coat-able finish! 






HAPPY WELDING !!!!

Exhaust Temp Sensor Bung Project Start

So after exhausting the local sources looking for a stainless steel M10 X 1.00 tapered stainless bung to weld onto my exhaust pipe I decided it would be easier to build my own. 

 These are two different tries they will both work and, I may yet make another as I did not have access to my good tooling for this project.


 These two photos illustrate the difference between the two .
One of these will be welded to the pipe to monitor the exhaust temperature.
I will of course post those photos when I find time to weld it on.


HAPPY WELDING !
