I have similar content on my channel. I just got hit with a bunch of “violations “. They got all my Galil-AK Hybrid videos. I had to privatize everything else. So prepare yourself. Someone out there is looking for this kind of content.

Whoever thought it was a good law to torch receivers is a bully and an enemy to the antique community. I’ve seen items that were new surplus, never-fielded units cut up and it’s a shame. It really is

Also love the finger placement at the end 👍

Appreciate the video, not enough of these out there

Great video for people who want to work on their own type of art.

You are a true artist! Keep it up.

I like your art project. I notice that there is a lovely threaded section where you took out that tubing stub. Perhaps you could mount a new tube and then turn this project into a campfire lighting device, the long reach would allow the flame to be far in front of your hands. Think of it as a gas fueled lighter. You can get the gas cartridges with quick disconnect plugs in the end, just plug them into the tubing and start the ignition cycle.

Thanks for the vid ,I'll give it a go.

This is actually so cool. It's like reviving such a unique piece of weaponry!

Nice work. I like edge weld and fill the big gaps then place a small tack , prevents large shrinkage from a wide weld bead spanning a big gap

Thank u for your knowledge…👍 looking forward to more vids

I like your art work......its beautifully done

Beautiful

cant wait to see more of your work on this galil

Nice work. Looks good. I found copper is the way to go instead of aluminum. Much cleaner. I did my first art project with a mig and I ground for days. No backers. No tig Just a couple different grinding devices and a 140amp mig. Runs like a champ. But not my finest art. I found extra fine sandblasting media covers slight imperfections before coating and makes for a beautiful finish

Wow , way awesome art project. You most definitely know how to stay within the lines .

I love art.

YOU are fantastic artist!!

Excrllent work n explanation.

Keep an eye on that gap expansion and overall length so your dust cover fits but looks great

Great job dude, thank you for sharing that process with us

I've got a couple art projects so I'm watching your video for inspiration.

I got my galil sar parts in the mail today. I'm not having a lot of luck finding a jig so I'm just gonna do my best with using the pins and top cover to start my tack welds and use some straight pieces of metal and clamps to keep the rails straight so it doesn't warp in the process. I guess the sar has no right side relief lightening cut and the crest on mine is just a circle with the y shaped character on the safe selector. I was really hoping to have the crest and the lightening cuts since all the after market receivers don't have it.

Looks good you are a lot more patient than I was doing mine but on my second now first one came out really good did have some warping in center I had to fix

Awesome job

To my eye artistic masterpiece

I found that lightly clamping the front stub with the ram of my 20 ton shop press and using a pipe wrench with a three or four foot cheater bar was very effective for removing barrel stubs. For the ones that I really had trouble with, well, that's why I've got a mother-in-law to apply extra weight with.. I found the shop press wasn't the type to do the jitterbug like my bench and vise were prone to.

This is def salvador dali levels of art

nice work!

Very nice - any idea how many hours you put into the project? Sure it looks great sitting on your coffee table.

good content, good weld.

WOW

What type of welding and what type of filler material do you prefer? Seems like TIG is the best option.

Best video I’ve found so far. Couple of questions though, what rod did you use for the welds and does the torch cut affect the heat treat at all? Thanks

The art is good

Where can you get those? I tried looking up Bowman Galil jig and couldn't find anything

is there any trick to know if the receiver has been welded? Otherwise, good job

Is there any benefit to beveling those lines before welding?

What kind of solder did you use?

Felt like I was watching Bob Ross on pbs.

Still working on my TIG chops with non-gun stuff or cheaper easier to replace gun frames (M11/9, for example). What is your target amperage range on Galil (or really any milled AK-type) receivers if you had to give a number? I'm a bit nervous right now to just throw on the max amperage on mine and go at it even with a foot pedal.

I’ve taken a semester of welding and did learn TIG, I’m mechanically and artistically inclined. Do you think this is something a patient novice could do or would I be better off paying $500 for a piece of art?

about how much time did the project take? Start to finish.

What are you using to grind the welds down that isn’t too aggressive?

Where do you purchase this art jig?

"Multicultural art". I love it.

I wish I had the money for one of these art jigs

Thank prit

very nice!! I've always thought by AFT's definition "once a machine gun always a machine gun" FA receivers can't be rewelded unless you have license?

OY VEY

What was the art supplier??

Isn’t there a hole missing lol - that will get you in trouble

I've honestly always sort of seen guns as functional art so why not

Funny you calling it art...iv got too remember that one...hope you don't have any dog's, nice job with the finger hiddie holes....

why tf u shaking so much😂😂

Torch cutting a Galil is antisemitic....there I said it.

I always wondered about the integrity of these rewelded receivers since the heat treat has been compromised.
