Which jig do you have, . Akbuilder? Thanks for the offer. Unfortunately its limited hours that I have to work on this thing. I watched some videos and think I have a setup that will work.

Just transfer the holes with some tape.
Yes, it's the Ak-Builder one
did any of the missing stuff show up?
No mags, no bolt carrier yet... I'm going to set up a thread for anybody that wants to donate to help replace them. Still quite upset that they could go missing and never turn up. Makes no sense that it could possibly be a mistake, and they would still not turn up by now.

Well, who on the original list has not yet responded to the thread? We might just have someone not check their bags yet.
I hate to say it but a roll call is in order. I think we can pretty quickly narrow it down but maybe that's just my opinion (even if it is simply to follow up more than accusations).
I don't enjoy paying for someone else's theft because I do that in Ma enough as it is with taxes.
Nobody is missing... Everybody has either chimed in, or at least read the PM about all the missing parts...
Not to call anybody out, but the only ones that haven't actually said anything are as follows:

I'm not about to point any fingers at any of them though. All seemed very polite, helpful, and decent.
I don't like it, but I can't just go and blame anybody. Sucks for the rest of us, but karma is a bitch, right

What you and Ben do behind closed doors should be kept between yourselves.

I laughed out loud at the office.
I try.
Did you ever get your gas port drilled out? Mine took a total of 10 drill bits to drill out. Note to self: Nitride treated barrels are HARD. Really hard.
I still haven't got the rivets welded. I had a guy lined up but he flaked out on me last week and the ATF is taking their time with the form 20 (travel form) so I can't take it to NH to get a couple tack welds. My cursed build broke Ben's welding machine so that didn't work out either.
How many things can go wrong with a single build? lol
PS I wasn't trying to blame anybody but the fact remain that either there is a communication gap or an honesty deficiency.

You forgot the chunk of flesh from my hand.....
Dude... I'd test fire that with a vice holding the gun, a cord on the trigger, and a blast wall between you and the gun. It really is cursed!
Well I didn't literally list every demonic thing the damned build is responsible for but that would be a hilarious list wouldn't it?
Thank you... I got that. Like I said, I can't assume any of the guys at the party are the type to take stuff like that purposely. Not a single one struck me as that type at all.
I havent because I need to rotate my gas block like 5 degrees. Will probably get it done next week -- I'll let you know how it goes...
10 drill bits?? Did they break, or just wear out? I've found using a good cutting oil like TapMagic really helps, though that nitride is hard shit one way or the other.

Both. Most got dull which required more pressure from the user that invariably led to increased lateral stress on the bit resulting in breakage.
I have yet to seen a pre-populated SBR barrel that is nitride coated, perhaps it's a sign?

I think it had more todo with the first bit chipping the the rest trying to drill through drill but chips. My carbide drill got that crap out and done in 5 mins.

I think the idea of buckets and a door man is the best bet .
Simple enough I can drink and block the exit with my psl . No one will try to pass a dude with a semi auto 54r lol
Crap
lolNobody will try and get by a guy that will shoot a semi exploded gun, that's for sure!
I replied back in post 1371 that I double checked my stuff and didn't find anyone's missing parts. I can also donate some money if you figure out what everyone needs to chip in. Also Bigblue if you need anything welded I'm in Assonet,MA and don't mind helping out.Nobody is missing... Everybody has either chimed in, or at least read the PM about all the missing parts...

$10 from me should have arrived, hoping we can get the replacements quickly.
