Home-made CZ Cool-Aid

[Chopperdoctor]

Well, I got tired of waiting for the next batch of NEA and Neit cool-aid, so I made my own ambi mag release. Some 4130 chrome-moly sheet, a little TIG time, a bit of grinding/filing/sanding, a healthy coat of John Norrel's flat black moly-resin and voila. Please excuse the weld porosity. It's been a while.

Could I buy 1 ambi mag release from you so I don't have to wait?

...waiting is a pain in the arse. One of the reasons I got into this industry, rather make it then wait for it.

Good job.


BTW.. I've got the final revisions on our ambi mag release on a sample on my desk right now. Should be heading back to the shop today or tomorrow for a quick redraw then it'll be going in line to wait to run off the machines.

That's pretty cool man.

Too bad the VZ mag doesn't drop free.

I concur.

It doesn't need to when you have a release like that.

Just depress the mag release with your trigger finger and knock the empty mag out with your fresh mag.

.. mine drop free. Trued up the sides with a file, little sanding on the front catch, drops free like a demon.

Mine too! I did the same. I'm gonna sandblast and refinish all of mine with Moly-resin. They'll all be a lovely flat greyish-black like AR mags when I'm done.

I give your welding a C but I give your efforts an A+!

Since I do F-grade welding I have no choice but to wait for things. But that's very cool and it's interesting to see it mounted up in the gun.

I have seen much uglier welds (mine) hold up pretty well so that may last a long time. One way to find out!

As soon as you get the ambi mag release in I will make an order for that and the ak front sight tool

Thanks for the kind words. Not sure if I want to go into even limited production. For the amount of time it took, I don't think anyone could afford my labor rate. It was a fun way to pass some time waiting for a helicopter to return to base late one evening.
