Official Rent Quarterbore's DPH AK-47 Flat Bending Jig - Second Tour

[mwebster]

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'll get them ordered up this week, then I'll go on a bender :D .

Add me to your list for the DPH rental.

OK QB,

The package was waiting for me when I got home from work tonight. A couple hours later my flats were done! Worked great. No issues, no problems. I repacked it exactly as it was and it is ready to roll. Email me the next victim's info and I will send it on. And THANKS for this rental gig....a nice thing for you to organize and setup. Everybody play nice and take care of the gear....or else.



Just an observation: The AK's I've built before were constructed on receivers from Coldsteel or the laser-cut fold-n-weld ones and they are much thicker and feel so much more solid than these bent flats. I guess I will see how they build. It seems like a trade between a solid receiver and all the "features" and ease of these flats.
