Thank you a ton! I haven't been able to find a reweld tutorial
How do you find out the dimensions for repairing/remanufacturing? What tolerances are acceptable?
These are great videos you are making.
One note on something I found…I believe the ejection port should be 53mm on these (2” =51mm, of course.) it’s such a small difference that it won’t matter, but I thought I,d throw that out there.
I figured this out because 1. On both of my kits, the gap between the pieces even up (instead of one small gap and two larger gaps) and
2. My folding stock left two small indentations that you can see on the top of the receiver where it sits when folded up. If you line up the receiver parts so that the stock is fitting nicely into those indentations, you get nice even gaps AND a 53mm ejection port.
I know the Russian version calls for 51mm, but I think the Poles must have revised that slightly on their version.
Nicely done.. you make it look pretty simple.
Quick question as I know this series will be immensely helpful in my ppsh builds. Do you have these backed up on rumble/odysse/ect as utube is on a witch hunt for gun content and would hate to loose this source of knowledge. Thanks for help us beginners.
Fantastic work looking forward to part two! Going with 9mm …. what method of blue and polish did you do it looks so good. Thanks for sharing.
