+-------------------------------------------------------------------+ | -=team Jiggy With It=- | | presents | | The AK-47 Bending Jig | +-------------------------------------------------------------------+ | | | | | | +-------------------------------------------------------------------+ Introduction. \\\\\\\\\\\\\\ The main aim of this distribution is to let the home hobbiest bend their own AK styled Flats. The Main challenge in the endeavor has been getting a design the worked, or having to spend $250-$500 for a pre made jig. The design has been put in the public domain by 555th. He put a lot of hard work and a years worth of tinkering.... Thanks 555th. What You Need \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\ To do this project you need to cut these jig peaces out of carbon steel as close as possible. You have 2 options. #1 get the steel cut almost to the dimensions listed and then do the finishing work with a grinder. Make sure you get the measurement as close as possible. Your other option is pick up the yellow pages and find a metal worker who has a "laser Plasma cutting machine" you should be able to give them this CAD file and they will be able to reproduce it. For the rest of the direction go to you favorite gun smithing web sites. What this file is lacking \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\ A better written "read me" for starters. It is also missing the outer part of the jig. I have included some picts in this file. With the picks you should be able to weld up the outer part with little effort. If any one has any extra time and could come up with a set of directions/CAD pict that would be great.
