@JagdtygerII the jig is $150 + $20 shipping to the lower 48 outside of that I have to get shipping quotes. It will not work with the yugo flats but I am working on making one that will.

Cats ass man! Nice jig.....most user friendly I've ever seen. Beats the shop press method 10-fold!

Does this work for a flat ak74 reciever bend? If so I want one asap
-
@Robalose p.s. if you live close feel free to come use my ak builder jig :)
-
@Robalose correct. And welding in a few gussets along the back of the angel iron channel {thats what the hot spots are from. you can see them when the press is in the "open" position.} If you own a hand drill, a scribe and basic measuring tools you too can make this. A welder would be needed to added the gussets, but everyone has a friend with a mig. These jigs only work with TAPCO flats which are no longer in production. ak builder flats with prebent top rails dont have the alignment holes.

@Duckyistrippin Holy shit, I can go to harbor freight right now and buy one of these for 30 bucks. So basically he's charging 100 bucks for drilling a couple holes.
-
@GreenMeanie101 no pattern needed. take the bar thats included with the 32 dollar HF brake. Scribe a line down the center of the bar. Lay the flat on that line and scribe the locater pin holes. the bolts go through the mag well and trigger hole. he also welds some gussets in the channel of the bender, since it is constructed out of 1/4" angle iron.
-
@Robalose the bar he uses is the bar that comes with the press. it just so happens to be 1.250 stock. thats why he doesnt have one that works for yugos, the bar needs to be .005 narrower.
-
Keep in mind this jig ONLY works with tapco flats, which are no longer available for purchase. ak builder flats with prebent rails dont have the center alignment holes that this jig uses to locate the flat.
-
The bending jig is bolted down to the workbench right? Otherwise...I'd need to buy a workbench as well!
-
@GreenMeanie101 I would just make sure that the bar is the proper width for the bend, then use the holes present in the flat as a template for drilling. Hope that helps.
-
You would'nt have the pattern needed or the press to drill out the holes would you?
It is a harbor freight press and rather make it myself.
WOW. i was looking at the shop press way for awhile and the jigs are what you are chargeing then you still need a press. tell me you are still selling these baby
