It looks like a Romanian Kalashnikov flipped upside down, the front sight mounted 180° and a FAL flashhider. The feed mechanism would be operated from a knob welded to the bottom of the carrier but I can't envision how you access the bolt and firing pin from the top side. That is a beautiful adapta...

Okay John. I've got your other book -- they should be labeled pre and post creation. That's before and after the big bang!! And for the next poor soul in these uncharted waters: Both the recuperator attachment points; one at the front integral with the last retainer and the other a bolt running thro...

Broke lighter copper for inside the camming piece and at the rear. Welded a bolt in to block the fa bolt and cut the grip area. The...

I'm an absolute newbie at this and have yet to get anything to go bang. The receiver from Weaponeer is together and I'm seeing a bit of light so I ordered 2 I/O kits @$330 ea. Cleaned them up last night. One's missing a spring and the small bolt at the end of the recuperator is broken off. The nozzl...
