Metal wise I'd say you could but you would want to add an X-ray of the welds to ensure no voids and a complete weld. But this would cost as much or more than another AK.

Oh I'm glad that was settled ^... ;) --- I am here: http://maps.google.com/maps?ll=28.971533,-98.468240

Make sure your OAL is correct. --- I am here: http://maps.google.com/maps?ll=28.971547,-98.468152

Check OAL I've just started loading too. What OAL does your 'recipe' state to seat the bullets at? did you measure it? On my 40S&W I measured a factory round and loaded mine the same length...they were the same bullet type so it worked out great. Mine cycle fine thru the weapon. Post...

I just picked one up, followed the manufacturers directions and reloaded 185 shells with hardly any problems. The problems I did have were my own. Once I got into the swing of things, it worked fine. I am rather mechanically inclined but I don't see where anyone else would really have an...

then on the eve of the 15th we should be seeing pictures!!! :p either choice seems good to me...shoot what you like! Enjoy!

Thanks again guys! I'll take that belling idea and put it to work...picked up some more brass today!!! Yes, it does feel great to shoot my own hand loads. I also make my own beer! I really like to see how things are made and do it myself...until it takes up too much of my time (BIL now owns...

Just a quick thanks to all who've helped me get my first reload going. It wasn't the specific help that any individual gave, but the plethora of knowledge and experience on THR that allowed me the research to have a successful first time out with my reloaded 40's! MBC IDP#2 Lead 170gr...

Nevermind...found answer elsewhere.

Sigma and Crossbreed = perfect IWB CCW I've worn mine since i got my CCW and my wife doesn't even know when I'm CCW! I'd like to get a little thinner gun - 260lbs, 40+ gut, but this set up works fine until I get my M&P 40C and 1911! You won't go wrong with Crossbreed - quality stuff...

Lee 1000 Hope it's worth it...just dropped the card on it and will begin my reloading phase! Thanks for this thread!!!

Well, it's official...(as the company is going to be anyway). They just placed a 30.06 sign at the front gate...I had to pull over to the sign to read it, but it's there. Stay vigilant, and thank you for all your opinions and experience.
