Email Treated As Spam: Since late 2020, many of my replies to customer email inquiries are being flagged as SPAM or JUNK by some ISP’s, with AOL being the worst for this action. My website and my email service have all security protocols in place, yet it occasionally occurs. If you do not hear from me in a reasonable amount of time, please check your spam/junk email folder and mark my message as Not Junk or Not Spam or just call me at 615 390 5645.

Reference Material

There are some excellent and inexpensive technical references for the headspacing and other critical building/repair methods for these rifles. The original manuals of the DDR have been translated and reworked by Mr. John Baum and a couple I recommend can be found at https://www.germanmanuals.com/manuals.html . I recommend “AK47 Repair Manual – East German Issue” and “MPi (AK-47) and Makarov Pistol Tool Kit Manual – East German Issue”. These are not “how to build” manuals but they present all of the critical points of assembly not covered by other peoples’ publications and the specific tools used – many of that I sell.

Robert Forbus is a toolmaker and a senior mechanical engineer with a career spanning  more than four (04) decades of ground-up design, manufacture, and assembly of machinery as well as plant process systems. I have intimate familiarity with printing presses, finishing equipment, web-handling equipment, stamping/forming dies, and a wide array of other machine tools. While this website is dedicated to the various builder and armorer tools sold by me, my engineering expertise and project management experience is “for hire”.
