I am tiring to get my order set and I could use some help because I dont want to forget anything.

[slamfire51]

So, do you have a Romy kit?
Which parts are you asking about?
Additional parts needed to complete a build?

Yes I do have a kit.
I am looking to build it but I need a run down of what is needed to complete it and have it be compliant.

[slamfire51]

Hold on.
I just did a write up on what you need, and the damn thing disappeared when I submitted it.

I'll redo it.

[slamfire51]

You'll need the following:
At least 6 US parts. These may include:

Barrel
FGC (OOPS! FCG counts as 3 parts)
Receiver
muzzle device
furniture (ea. pc. counts as one part)
mag body, follower, floor plate. (you can use a foreign mag body and use the other 2 US parts)

You'll need:
press (you can pay some one to press the barrel in and out, but sending a receiver to have the barrel pressed back in will involve an FFL transfer)
Jigs for barrel removal and installation.
riveting tools
media blaster to prep for paint
Brake cleaner to degrease metals
paint paints like GunKote come in rattle cans. That's what I use.
Send the wife shopping so you can bake the paint after spraying. :)

If I think of more, I'll post it.

i thought you had your flat already?

as long as your kit is complete, including the barrel, all you need are your compiance parts. ive got plenty of rivets. the receiver will count as one part. that leaves 5 more.

i like to go with the fcg, piston, and slant brake. that keeps them as origional looking as possible. if you want to go with some us furniture for a different look, that will be some other parts you could exchange.

[deth502]

oh, and to plug a sponcer, i always get my compliance parts from copes.

[slamfire51]

True.
I was giving him most of the options available to him.

[deth502]

i was refering more specifically as to what he needed, and not whats needed in general :thumbsup:

Well I was looking in the build forum for what was needed and its sure as hell not what it use to be. I remember more info in there than I care to read and now that I want to read it. Its all gone. I am just tiring to over analyze the mechanics of the whole process just to gain some knowledge.

He does, don't mind Gene, you know he's a drunk monkey.
The piston, fcg, flat, muzzle break & furniture is with me, he'll get it tomorrow.

I still need your help with the pistol.

Not sure the possibilities are endless lol

G kit


Flat
rivets
retaining Plates
barrel pin


Ok so what am I missing ?

You need a Go and a No go head space gauge.
When you are done assembling the rifle, you need to rig it up on the press so you can put enough pressure on the barrel so it will force the barrel against the barrel pin. (the pressure from the round being fired always forces the barrel out and up against that pin). you must keep that in mind when pressing in your barrel, and pin. it is OK if you’re barrel is a little too far in. but if you’re barrel is too far out, the pin will shave the barrel and when it is fired and heated up, the barrel will be forced against the barrel pin. and that little bit you shaved off, now becomes a serious and dangerous problem. On the other hand, if you press the barrel too for in and shave a little off, you will never know because the pressure from the round, always forces the barrel out.
If you need them, I have a set of gauges I can loan you . and if you need any help on this, just drop me a PM.

Didn't you know the hammer is the universal gunsmithing tool?

Not for primers....

[slamfire51]

Not for primers....

You have to remember that there are idiots in the 3rd world 'smithing trade.
Besides as hard as some of the foreign primers are, he's probably got the odds in his favor.

And just think of all the equipment we buy to make the same weapons.
