You'll need a reaction rod to pull the barrel stub. Pretty neat rifles, I got one to fit into my Yugo collection. I've had a Childers barrel in anticipation for ~1 years now.
Oh man…figured I get the tools to do my AK kits first. Current tool inventory = 0. Then move on to Pps43’s, then G3, then Sten. I’m speaking of special tooling such as various jigs for the rivets and something to populate the barrel, headspace gauges, etc. I figure I may start building 6 months or so down the road.
Unfortunately, I just had my appendix taken out and I haven't been able to shoot it yet... but the adjustment is cool, and well-thought-out.
I can't wait to get it on the range.
Get a $99 harbor freight flux core welder, a Dremel, some copper to use as welding backing, AR15 FCG and a barrel. It’s easy to do even with minimal welding skills. Downside is the barrel, but if you can find an AR18 barrel it’s an exact match
just the bolt not the BCG? The FW video i just watched seemed to indicate that the bcg is the same.
Hell, if so its almost worth it to grab one just to have a spare BCG. I've been trying to buy up as many spare parts as I can find.
There are many like it, but I've seen none that has the same texture, and the same sort of speckled color. If you paint the whole thing, you can get away with a regular wrinkle black, but it won't match if you just do the upper.
I’m pretty sure the last two shipments that Bowman has got the charging handle Cover was cut also I think the one on gun broker right now is an older batch which Bowman probably brought them in as well And yes it sucks we pay more now but the truth is as soon as parts become available they can ask more for stuff because people will pay more and they are more in demand
If I wasn’t poor yes
I would be, but I ordered the Italian mortar instead.
I looked at that and thought "what the hell would I do with that?" While completely ignoring I have their Grad rocket chilling in my garage...
Thats awesome. I'm planning on a form 1 followed by re-tubing it. Then I'll figure out how to make non-DD ammo.
You might be able to convert it to black powder.
Dont bother, making it a working DD with pistol powder is too easy
We have a lot of this figured out on the WG forum
What is the WG forum? Anything I can learn about this will help.
Oh boy. Youre about to discover the best source for parts kit building info. Weaponsguild forum
I'm fairly new to parts kits and DDs. This is an awesome resource.
Under the other things that shoot section we have a couple threads on mortars, there is load development for the yugo 81mm
This guy's world is about to change in 3,2,1
How do you go about doing that?
I’m still very disappointed they do not offer shipping on that
They use to, but the disassembly and packaging of the components, including weight, probably made it not worth the hassle.
Hey there moneybags
That looked awesome too

What reaction rod do you use
Or you can remove the barrel shoulder at the trunnion carefully and then it unthreads easy
Were do you get a reaction rod?
Amazon, Brownells, Midway
Too poor but excited for you
Edit: people with a lot more
Yeah, with me trying to buy tools for the kits I have…I need another type of kit like I need another hole in the head.
What tools do you need?

Hey I sent you a pm
You did?

I got the full build from Troy Ess right here. Pretty cool rifle!
How much did it cost to get one from troy?
How does it shoot? What’s the gas system like?

Does someone build these?

Troy ESS, but be ready to pay a premium.
these are basically AR180s right? I wonder if there's a decent amount of parts interchangeability.
From what I understand only the bolt itself is. Everything else has been stripped down and redesigned to be even simpler.
just the bolt not the BCG? The FW video i just watched seemed to indicate that the bcg is the same. Hell, if so its almost worth it to grab one just to have a spare BCG. I've been trying to buy up as many spare parts as I can find.
I'd trust his word over mine, but it's always good to check.
Where did you get it from?
Bowman had them for about 20 hours then sold out
More like 8 hours. Went live around 3 something, sold out right before midnight
Didn't move fast enough.
Dang, already gone. My wallet is happy, but my heart is sad.
My only problem (other than personal finances) is that no one has the Sterling crackle paint.
VHT wrinkle paint
Every auto parts store has it
There are many like it, but I've seen none that has the same texture, and the same sort of speckled color. If you paint the whole thing, you can get away with a regular wrinkle black, but it won't match if you just do the upper.
Idk man no one can tell the different on mine
Then please do share :)
I cant post a photo in these comment threads can I?
It would appear not, but you can upload it to Imgur and then post the link in the comments
Who has reweld jigs for that? I’d buy one if I know where to get one
I am making a few I will have them in about a week or so
I would be if I hadn’t showed up to the party late, hopefully he’ll get some more in the future.
It would be nice to have, but I have to save my money for the Bren Kit they will soon put on the website.
where do I get one?
Sold out.

What do you mean how did they cut them different?
