I have actually been a member for a few years and get around once a month or so to check things out. I have been more active on other forums but feel I need to focus my time and energy locally. I tinker mainly in Aks and ARs. I have recently uindertaken the task of de-banning about a half dozen of my MAK-90s back to their glorious pre-ban state, so I have purchased some new tools and equipment. Picked up a 12 ton press for gas blocks and front sight posts (and whatever else I want to smash ). I also picked up both 14x1 and 1/2x28 dies to thread barrles. I have a mig welder and sandblaster and lots of other nick nack tools and am looking to continue adding. Fixing to experiment with bluing, and I am in the process of setting up the equipment. I have ordered a few AK kits to build and am looking forward to the learning experience. That all being said, I would like to extend the use of any of my tools or equipment to forum members. I know alot are looking to have barrels threaded. I am not offering a service, but you can use what I have to get the job done. I work in Slidell and have recently moved to Picayune so shoot me an email or PM if I can help ya out anyway.
