I just finished what I was working on. It still needs a few coats of Alumahyde, and I'm still waiting on my fake can.

is the middle section on the barrel a gas port cover?

Yes. The AK 74 gas port was "sleeved" to cover it up. I used a factory Saiga barrel and had it shipped to Turbothis for mods.

Thank you.

Thanks again Matt for the quick turn-around. You have a big following from us So. Cal. builders. We will be doing more business with you for sure.

Thanks CAB. You'll have to ask Matt. He did everything. I did try to punch that pin out but gave up. It was tight.

I used an AK Builder flat and "flat head" rear trunnion rivets from KVAR. More pics when I'm done painting.

I think I am, thanks.

Yep. In addition to the mag lock, the side folder has been locked in the open position, and that's a perm blocked 10 round E. German mag with US follower for 922r.

Check out my other fixed folders.......damn CA.

 

[shoru]

Ouch, that looks bad.
What has to be modified to make a rifle "California-proofed" ?
Are there any more things except the welded stock, mag catch and barrel?

 

[hey_hi_its_me_vlad]

stock doesn't look welded to me.... :smile:

the rule in cali is "one" and only "one" evil feature...

new york is "two"

anything more is illigal

so stock saiga's are ok, because all they have is a detach mag...

covert to a pistol grip, u gotta lock the mag in place...

and so forth... new york though, u can have a pistol grip, and one other item, most people usualy go for a detachable mag option. some lock the mag and have a pistol grip and then a folding stock... others have no pistol grip, locked mag and basic A2 style stock on their AR (for example) and have just the bayo lug and flash hider...

its pretty confusing untill you're stationed in one of these shitholes... (politically speaking)

upstate new york has miles of backwoods roads and things to do, cali has great weather and all kinds of cool outdoors too... but both suck for guns...

 

[Newaza]

Beautiful rifles.

 

[Krater]

I'm curious, why place a patch over the barrel? I was under the impression that the holes could welded over, which would be cosmetically more pleasing?

 

[Turbothis]

on the inside of the barrel, just a touch too much heat and you now have an ubstruction. yro:

 

[veterosa]

Matt did a great job covering the previous gas port. Artty received the measurements and is finalizing the new PBS 5 in these design to cover the barrel hoping to get done tomorrow. More pics to follow when we get the new fake can.
