What did you build yourself

[Flounder]

I'm wrapping up my PPSH41 reweld in 9mm. This is a 1943 Russian kit with a closed bolt SA striker action and a 16 inch barrel.
Overall, a very fun build and it works remarkably well.

NICE!!! ^^^

I would imagine shooting one is pleasant. Seems all that weight would have to soak up a lot of recoil.

Another AR9 in the books

Hot damn! When can we do mine in marpat?

I built this 40 cal 2011 using a Para 14-40 lower with custom G10 grips, Caspian slide, Jarvis barrel, Dawson fiber optic sight & other custom upper parts. Cheaper than a Staccato and shoots like a dream. This has become one of my most favorite all-time guns to shoot. It's almost like an extension of my body!!!

that is awesome

I finished a PPS-43 SBR. Bolt was converted to semi by KP Products. I lucked into a semi lower, so I didn't have to install the semi trigger myself. 9mm barrel from Pike Arms. Did some TIG welding, some grinding, and some heating and beating, and it works great. I gave the receiver a coat of flat back rattle after this photo. No fancy finish on this one. On to the next project...

Edit: This was my 3000th post. Cheers to the PAFOA community.

Nice work Komrade. Uncle Stalin would be pleased!

I do enjoy seeing your work...always impressed

Thanks! Hopefully I will have a few more to show soon. I finally got the heater installed and working in my garage and it is so so nice. Definitely gives me a little more motivation to work out there in the cold evenings.

thats awesome I have still yet to start the journey on my first build that involves welding, I have a cetme flat and jig. Mind you I still need to buy a barrel and figure it all out ... but hey that's part of the fun.

Hopefully you can find someone local who can give you some welding tips. For most of this stuff you can get away with a small 110v MIG welder, even flux core works but I prefer gas shielding for cleaner welds. But I use TIG on everything anyways. At least welding can be re-done and re-done (to a point). I dislike wood work, since you can't put the wood back together.

4 kits came in today, roughed them together to make sure everything was there. One bcg was bad due to the bolt being out of spec, i'll be caling them tomorrow to get a replacement.
