Re: More semi building questions please......

So Pirate, when you get up and running and I send you my 3 cut receiver, once it is welded will it need to go back via FFL or will you have some way to ship it back that its a 'dummy receiver' or '80%'?.....Again, this is assuming I get the 34 kit...ooof, thats alot of money.

More semi building questions please......

1) Ive looked around a bit but cant seem to find anybody doing welding services on the 34 receivers. Does anybody here offer these services, and if so, does it need to ship back to an FFL (can welder just leave it in 80% state?) 2) I looked at the bolt/trigger mods. Again, Im just looking into this ...

Re: How hard is a semi 34 build from a demil receiver?

I guess this is why they went from a precision milled receiver to a simple formed metal one.......Even back then they realized that manufacturing the 34 was a PITA. Thanks guys. I gotta get back to knitting class........

Re: How hard is a semi 34 build from a demil receiver?

$1695 for a receiver!! Oh HELLLLLLLLLLL no. I dont care if it comes with the entire German bikini team and Hitlers DNA profile. That is obscene. I just need a new project for now, and Ive had several failures in the last few months, so Im gettin depressed. Maybe I should take up knitting........

How hard is a semi 34 build from a demil receiver?

Well, Im getting the itch again. Ive been looking at a few MG34 kits and was wondering how hard it is to weld up the receiver. Lets remember that all I have is a Harbor freight MIG welder and a dremel. My 42 came out fine, but the welds are visibly amature. This build looks a little more welding int...

The Turkish 8mm question again....

My reserve of Romy 8mm is geting low, but Ive got about 1K of late 50's Turk ammo around. All of it is bright an shiny, but I know from shooting it out of my bolt guns that it is real hot and shoots very high. Has anybody here ever had any bad experiences with Turk ammo? PLease tell me from experien...

Re: Ran her again today.

Ive got a total of about 200 rounds thru her. She still has misfires every once in a while. I chalk it up to being a home built gun. My biggest fear is running out ofammo, Ive got about 400 rounds of Romanian left, after that......Ive got about 1K of the Turk stuff. Ive been taught to fear this stuf...

Ran her again today.

Took my girl out again today. First ten rounds went fine, then I just started denting primers. Then I had a double tap! I assumed that my disconnector broke again and I started to tear her apart. Nope, disconnecter looks fine, but the hammer was at a funny angle.....oh shiznizzle, the hammer axis pi...

Re: Anyone else see this one?

There are a number of these in New York state that I'm aware of. There's no reason NOT to ship them to NY, since they are clearly do not fall under NY's assault rifle ban. Lots of companies just dont want to deal ith the headache. Centerfire, Aim, and a few others wont sell magazines over ten rnds ...

Where are the Yugo belts?

Am I missing something? How did those crafty Yugoslavians feed their hungry M53's? I dont recall seeing any Yugo 50rnd belts anywhere. I need a few more belts but cant justify 30-40 bucks I see the German ones going for. Did I just not search hard enough?
