I have a tig , I'll have to get things De-slagged and apart before I make up my mind on if it's worth salvaging.
I've finished a FAL so far. Working on an AK right now, with a CETME C, Galil ARM, and PPS43 on deck.
Let's see a few, AR, AK, Uzi, HK, and some others, the good old days of cheap
kits is gone, years ago SA, RIA sold parts, Shotgun News was like your "candy
store" for good parts. I remember when Rock Island Armory was selling AR clone
finished lowers for $39.00, then they got into a "patent thing" with Colt so they
were selling the lowers for $19 all Sendra marked either XM15 or M15,Colt chrome
bolt carriers complete, Uppers etc. good ole days. Have too many projects to start
and finish.

Attachment 236238Attachment 236239Here’s my mini30/m1a that I built last year with the help of Accuracy Systems. Wasn’t a kit but it was a build and a half. They did the bbl work, brace and m14 flash hider while I did the stock, fake scope mount and camo paint job. The mini is inlet into an actual m14 stock with a lot of jb weld and 2 walnut block spacers. Planning on rebuilding a mini 300 blkout into a Garand this year.
Never have enough projects.
nice hodgepodgery there, buddy. th " guns that never existed" are the most fun to build. i still have an L1A9 project in the wings. it will be a tec9-L1A1 hybrid.
Several types done over the years and kudos to justashooter for sharing his ak rec. forming tool designs and methods !! Helped me and several others down the path !
Built this .62 cal. smoothbore from some parts I had.
Stainless steel seamless tube. Lock, trigger, trigger guard from Dixie Gun Works .58 cal ram rod from a Zouave. Hunk of Maple from a chair maker. rear sight from a Rem 788. Butt plate ??
Favorite loads...100 grains FFG, .58 cal minie or round ball in a 20 ga shot cup.
3 dram equiv. FFG with bird shot or OO buckshot.....one gun does most..
Took 6 months....'cause I hadn't a clue, and I didn't like the Thompson Center Hawken Kit...thought I could do better myself. Attachment 237109
