Looks great. F the cerakote. I just did a bulgy 74 with high temp BBQ paint. The trick is to cook the rifle at about 300 for an hour. That coating is pretty tough once set. Cost: 6.99.

Fapping raw

 

[WallHack]

Still need to order Cerakote.

That is sweet! I just got two kits in, a Maadi 47 and a Bulgi 74. I can't wait to get started. Of course I don't have a clue so this should be quite the learning experience.

I had no idea either. I just trolled gunco, akfiles and YouTube for help. I still have 2 more to build, a Maadi and Romy. They should be a walk in the park compared to this one. Just take your time and double check things. The only mistake we did was putting on the spacer/safety stop for the front of the trigger guard. We put it on backwards because I was but paying attention.

Thanks for the positive input. Were your barrels populated? I only have a 47 barrel now, not populated. Some people talk like it's a big deal, and others not so much. I guess I will see. Going to clean everything up and see what still needs to be demilled, although it is mostly done. When I first opened the box I was like 'WTF did I get myself into?'

Lol
That's how I felt with my psl build I'm in the middle of doing .insert atilla giving me crap.....

After de-milling it etc I was like that's not bad. Then when my barrel deal went Mia I started shitting bricks again.

I got all virgin barrels for my builds. This build was a little more difficult because we needed to turn it down some, cut in the handguard slots and thread it. But populating it and headspacing it was straight forward. The hardest part was drilling the holes for the barrel pins and getting everything square so you'd go in one hole on the trunnion and then out the other. The next time we do it, we are going to true it up and use a slide table. Otherwise it's true and drill, then do the same thing for the gas block and front sight.

You could try using a 7mm endmill to cut the barrel pin hole. It does not wander like a drill does. Some people prefer a 1/4 end mill then ream to 7mm. Either way it's worth a try.
