My sources state GAP said "Let me show you something you can do with an AK that you can do with an AR," I will remember that next time I want my rifle to turn back into a parts kit.

I still can't blame this on the AK's design.  This was obviously the result of a bad build, whether it be from the factory or a do-it-yourself project.

So it can blow up a 3rd time?  LOL

Guys, if you don't know, this weld has broken before when we were on the range.  The amazing this is that because of the AK design, when the gun blows up, it does so in a way as to not cause any injury to the shooter or those around them.  In fact, you could say it behaved perfectly, just as it was designed to.

GAP, we're gunna either screw that shit or rivet it, no more KABOOMS man!  LOL

We are going to rivet our AK's for the record!  None of this welding shit!   [img]http://www.arrse.co.uk/at

you know, as much as I LOVE trolling the AK guys, I gotta give it to you, I think you're right about this one. and I was a direct witness to it. there was absolutely NO warning that anything was wrong until GAP said: "welp, that's it, it blew up"... inside my head I'm saying "wtf is he talking about?" and then he proceeds to separate the two halves... at which point I was overtaken with uncontrollable laughter...  :)) (only because he talked SO much shit leading up to that day)

but either way, I can agree with what you said about the AK's design. BUT!! I must throw something else in there that may or may not spark a debate...  >:D

I was talking to mtn about this and he brought up a good point: AR's are like semi-auto pistols and AK's are like revolvers, a failure in a AR tends to be an easy and quick-fix (like most semi-auto pistols), whereas a failure in an AK (however uncommon) tends to be catastrophic and requires tools and a workbench to repair (like a revolver).

shitstorm in: 3... 2.... 1... GO!

You know GAP that your AK will just fall apart again if you chose to weld it back together and not because of your skills as a welder.

It's all about design, when we watch the slow motion footage of an AK firing we see that the recever does a ton of flexing from the load placed upon it. A weld is a very rigid connection and doesn't allow for those parts to move around on their own as opposed to rivets which allow for a limited amount of play.

So let's say for the purpose of discussion that you do "turn the heat up" and get a solid weld, you know whats going to happen next time? The thinner metal of the recever will be taking that load instead of the rivets and it will begin to tear right next to your weld and that my friend won't be something that can be fixed because fatigued metal doesn't weld back together worth a shit.

I would grind that shit down and take it to a machine shop so they can press in some high carbon steel rivets. Just my 2 cents.
