The 12-Ton A-Frame will work just fine.

It is currently on sale online for $99.

I have used the 12-ton H-frame and I am moving up to the 20 to get more room... The 12-ton "A" will work as KillJoy149 said and is just a little smaller then the 12-ton "H" press as far as working area. The 6-ton is WAY TOO SMALL and you will no be able to press barrels or do a number of things you will need (want) to do with it. Print the advertisment for the 12-ton "A" press and the 20% off coupon and you will have a useful press for about $80. It is light enough that you can cary it around to where you want it so storage is pretty easy.

Have you seen this:

Homier 12 ton press

It looks like the exact same press as the HF one. If you live in the right place, it might be cheaper, even with the shipping. It can ship to me for under $100. I noticed that shipping prices did go up recently....!@#$%^& gas prices.

I was thinking about making a jig but for under 30.00 to rent it wont pay my time build one. For a reference just look up my name on Ebay and I post a bit on 1919a4.com.

P.S.
I only have 2 flats right now how much time would I have before it was shipped this way? I'll call Tapco and get 3 more.

Glad to see you got on... You should have time to get your flats... Most people can bend their flats in a weekend but shipping takes a week between each person and some people can take a couple weeks... So, you likely have at least a month to get your flats and tapco has them in stock and ship within a day... ak-builder.com is slower in shipping but even they should be able to get you them.

I am going to be building my first AK and would like to be added to the list.

Thanks!
