I was so busy working on the KP-44 project I nearly forgot to take pictures. So I welded the upper and lower halves together. I then used the milling machine to cut open the ejection port. I also decided to shoot a solid color of black Krylon on the gun to see what it’d look like.
Once the last parts order arrives, the gun will be ready to shoot. I will install a pair of AK-47 rails with the ejector built in. I’ll polish and reform the feedramp so the gun can feed hollowpoints. I still need to weld the rear sight on, and install the hammer / trigger spring and the disconnector spring onto the AK- 47 fire control group. And I’ll build a new safety lever into the gun. All this remaining welding will burn the paint off, but that’s OK. I’ll go back over the entire gun with black oxide color Dura Coat. It’s tougher than bluing anyways. I hope to post a video of the initial test firing of the gun soon.
