7️⃣4️⃣SEVENTY-FO Thursday…Now she folds😈! AK-105K-ish 5.45 pistol to side folder I just finished cutting/converting. #ak74 @badelementlabs
Its khyber style SF that I been tinkering with I had to dremil the receiver to aks74 pattern adding a side latch and folder mech slots manually its and the first time I riveted a trunion in with a press and an ak builder tool.
I ran into some issues had to get creative because of the serial no. I had to position drill back and then blacksmith lengthen the latch hook up front to reach the folded stock and it worked out nicee
The only way to get better is to have experience and trial and error -not perfect but Im a bubba learning tryna level up. #gumsmiff #kalashtism #akbuilding #badelement
👹Work in progress!
@badelementlabs
Im sharing the smithin journey of the rs-s1 12 gauge 10” bbl sbs Im working on. It was single shot after the chop but with some tuning its up to semi auto mostly again but will need additional mods. I’ve opened the gas port and added a performance recoil assembly. I have plans to polish the internal ls and boost the gas system. This project has me learning to fine tune my system to be reliable and do myself whats needed to dial in the sbs after the chop. Im not finished but wanted to give a peek.
Figure Id post since its been a minute, busy with wrapping up of my spring semester studies and contract. Will be full time again next week doin @badelementlabs shit 🤘 be knokcing out custom orders asap and eventually take new ines and share some more exciting collabs and news with yalls.

Last Saturday I had a scare ❤️🩹
PSA: Dont Give Up. Guys I want to take a moment to say thanks for your continued support and give an update. This Feb my health took a bit of a dive, what does that mean? On Saturday I woke up not being able to breathe from an acute asthma attack. It scared me and I could feel the lights starting to go out. These are rare last couple years thanks to new meds. But I had my phone and was about to call 911. My rescue inhaler just wasn’t helping as fast but I got better but had a shitty night/day. Ive had 3 such scares this month, 2 of them last week. I have 3-5 attacks daily that Im used to it.
Last year I was diagnosed with hypoxia from sleep apnea but mostly from asthma. Ive been battling this for about 5 years. I havent got good sleep in a very long time.
I wake up with chronic pain a headache and am not rested with a fuzzy mind. Im battling migraines, a years long sinus infection and ibs. I was diagnosed with chronic fatigue which sucks. Besides doing Bad Element stuff (full time in summer) part time in the fall winter and spring because Im a full time student and part time employee.
My wife of 22 years is my personal nurse basically without her help Im screwed, together we have a beautiful family with 5 children. Yes 5 lol. Im also trying to spend time with them and have the regret of missing alot of time both as a self employed solo show owner and operator of my business but also as a worker and student putting in the hours and just not enough time in the day.
Im already feeling screwed always stressed out of my mind and if I feel good its a miracle but I press forward. Im not sorry for myself lets be clear. The VA is helping me, my healthcare is free but it kinda still sucks I still dont have the right cpap machine that works for me but I feel Im close to getting the machine that I can use if its approved. Im hopeful that all my ailments will improve and I can be more productive.
I’ll paint a picture for you today I woke up with a throbbing headache from hypoxia and asthma. I went to the br sick to my guts. My head nearly made me vomit frm pain. My wife is taking care of me. Im not giving up pls dont give up on me 💛
