my Low dollar 318 hop-up project
Chances are you may already have everything that you see in the pictures above. The sockets are a 15/16 and a 1 1/8 sizes. The valve spring compressor was like a 5 dollar flea market item, and the dremel is 20.00 bucks at Walmart. The screw driver, well, it serves an important part of the next step........ and any vacuum will do, as long as it has the hose... that's right, even your house vacuum cleaner. Not pictured is safety glasses
Machine shops = $$$$$$. Years ago I learned to work with what I had, not only the tools but the motor at hand also..... I will only use the tools above for the next step, and believe me, this is what will make this 318 into my targeted 340 chaser (my targeted 73 stock 340 duster) ....
P.S. --- not counting the cost of simple tools against the budget. These tools can be used an many projects.
