Working on my dp27, just rewelded most of my receiver today went to check headspace and about 1mm too tight (no gauge or bullet) do I have to cut it back up or can I shave down the flap a little bit?

I'm looking for a fellow kit builder in Colorado. I have built a few kits and would like to do few more. It's fun to shoot the shit with a buddy while putting stuff together.

Ordered two mags and tried to get some blank firing adapters but had to delete from cart because it said oos the day before the specials email went up and saw the bfa on the email so I emailed asking if they coulr plz iinclude some. Not only did they give me the bfa but they also gave me a sling and cleaning kit! Thanks for the hookup!

There seems to be a lot of conflicting information on this machine. Can anyone with personal experience tell me. Is it possible to machine for example a pm63 rak or vz61 scorpion reciever from a block of aluminum or steel? Or can you only do ar lowers, glock slides and 1911s?

Wondering if any of you folk in the kit world have done an mp5 and if so, how hard is it? Is welding an option on the cut receivers? If not how hard is it to bend a flat? Input is greatly appreciated as my wallet yearns to be empty.

Do my eyes deceive me or did i bend my barrel?

All build ive done up to this point ive eaither bought headspaced or sent it off to be done. Decided to give it a go as i mostly understand the process and im not lacking the tooling. Issue im having is drill bit sizes. Opinions seem pretty consistent on the front sight, gas block, and rear sight. But uve heard several opinions on barrel pin. Those being

drill it a 1/4 inch bit, then file excess

Drill it oversized and then ream

Drill it with an endmill

Drill it with a letter "i" drill bit

Ive also heard that you need a mill to do it anywhere near correct. Is this true or can i get it done effectively with my drill press. Any insight is appreciated!

Trying to find a replacement husqvarna m40 upper frame and barrel, not having much luck. Anyone have any leads or ideas where to look besides ebay and gunbroker? Thanks in advance.

Hey just curious about how the community feels about the RTI kits that are coming in. Are they amazing deals? Rat shit at best? Bad cuts?

Hello all,

I am looking to put together a Cetme C. I was originally going to build it on a pre-bent receiver and go from there, until I came across a complete receiver with barrel & cocking tube already installed.

From my research, these are cast stainless steel receivers made by Century.

My question is;

-How would I set headspace if these barrels are already pinned and welded into the trunnion? Just hope for the best? I don't even see how I could measure the headspace with feeler gauges with the trunnion welded in place.

Has anyone put together one of these from a barreled receiver?

Hello, I’ve been trying to source just a wooden grip for a VZ.61 with no luck, If anyone has any leads on a website that has one in stock / has a spare please let me know! Thank you

Hiya, anyone after making a semi version have a spare populated grip module in hand for sale?

Shooting a Vz61 build using the barrel from an RTI kit and using Magtech .32 auto I was having feeding issues with everyother round. I changed between different magazines with no improvement. There was some strands of metal shavings when I pulled these out. Is it a feed ramp issue?

Hey guys..... so I'm a young guy, pursuing his machinist and welding certifications, an interest in milsurp parts kits, and a dream. I hope to one day be able to start a business selling rebuilt parts kits, but don't know where to start. What would you guys think are the essential tools and pieces of equipment I should buy to start off in this area?

I have questions about the legality of doing semi auto conversions on two guns. 1- is there no amount of converting you can do because of the BATF's once a machine gun always a machine gun statement or is that a farse? 2- Then how can semi auto versions of these guns be sold by companies if that statement is true?

1. Pps43- from what I've read you'll need a semi auto trigger assembly, denial bar, and a bolt conversion.

2. Vz58- all I could find about converting these was putting in a trigger assembly?

Doesn't line up on the tortort everything is upside down seems easiest way would be to cut and weild

I might scrounge up enough to piece together parts for a 5.45 Krink. They're not going to be matching, if they even have serials. It's parts I've been researching on from different vendors, some of them still in the white. Any of you think this would be interesting to watch? I've been trying to record my builds when I can for people.

I have a Sten MKIII parts kit for sale. It includes the barrel. The tip of the link pin was touched by the grinding wheel when it was being de milled. Only partially de milled. What you see is what you get. $250 includes shipping in CONUS.
