@akompsupport Glad you liked it ! In the near future, I'll start buildiing AK pistols and rifles in non-standard calibers. Look for .358 Gremlin.... a 7.62 X 39 necked up to .35 caliber.

Amazing! How easy would it be to comvert a replica 1863 Springfield rifle/musket to a 58. caliber Snider rifle?

Great Video Jim!! Ive Been Waiting For a New Video I Love Gunsmithing Buddy

[downeastgunworks]

@chrischiampo Soemtimes it might take me a week or three to get a new video posted to You Tube. Got to keep in mind that I do this for a living, and sometimes I get too backlogged with customers to take the time to do a video. But I'll always try to get some stuff posted here as I can. ALSO, I have free tip videos available on GunWork's website that are NOT posted live here. Just sign up on the page for the free tip videos on how to do stuff yourself.

I love videos like this. I can't do any of this and I'll never try but I still find it fascinating.

@kotor39 Thanks ! I'll be building AK 47 rifles and pistols in the near future in custom calibers.

@downeastgunworks Thanks for the reply, I was just wondering about the overall cost. I love your channel and can't wait for more!

[downeastgunworks]

@kotor39 Centerfire Systems is selling a semi auto M-31 Suomi for about $ 400 - $ 450 ready to shoot right now ( dealer cost ) ... THIS would be cheaper than having your parts kits built by a licensed 07 FFL. To be honest, they're much cheaper because the company mass produces them, whereas a gunsmith has to make and fit all the parts by hand, one at a time. I can still build your parts kit for you, but it might not be as cheap as you'd like.
