Need a gunsmith SE PA to weld on an AK

**joelad** · July 17th, 2014, 05:03 PM

I posted this in the General section, I figured it may get more responses here.

I have a Norinco MAK-90 that was a blocked under folder. It came with a thumb hole stock. When I took the stock off, the bottom of the trunion was milled away for the stock to fit. It also had a double hole stock tang welded on.

I'm looking for someone capable of welding up the hole. I can cut off and dress the tang area. Any suggestions?

A pic of what it looks like.

hey joe,

been a long time.

to clarify, you want someone to close the large opening at rear of receiver that accepted the stock insert? looks like a piece of 14 gauge could be added to fill this in. you could do it with plumber's solder if you bent some tabs on the insert. you're gonna paint it black, anyway...

I have a stub piece off the back end of a Romanian receiver. With a little cutting, it would fit into the hole. I was thinking tig welding it in place might be better.

I cut the tang, and dressed the area. Some cold blue would fix that.

Now it looks like this.

The front sight base pins are out. De-banning the barrel is the next step.
