Anyone have a source for CAD data.. on the measurements needed to cut out a AK but stock for milled and stamped?.. I was wanting to plug some data into the CNC machine at work and see if I could cut some out..CAD is easy to transfer,,, ya ya,, get the calipers and measure,,, but I'm lazy..lol

you'd think there would be something by now that cheap that just uses light or lasers to map stuff out....

We use whats called a Romer. Its basically a big arm that plugs up to a laptop and has probe on the end that lets you pick points of an object. You pick multiple points and then you can map it out on the laptop and get geometry dimensions.

Pretty neat.
