Thanks, I didn't know that. The bullet does not slid in, and I do not want to hammer it into the barrel to reenact the combustion in a firing chamber, because I know that I will not get it out without hammering steel rods from the other end. I am also concerned, because despite the bullet drop thing...

My barrel shroud includes about half of that smaller cam piece that you have, it is cut right in front of that little dimple on top, and that is why I have hope. I have exact dimensions of the slope etc, so I just have to fab that part. Like I said, the trunion with the top cover and feed tray lock ...

Thanks for the very informative response! That diagram is sweet! Ok, everything is fine now, my questions are answered, just one more question: Can the IMA pieces be used for the semi build? Kirk, if you wanted to, could you? Also about the missing front end of the rear receiver; is it a complicated...

Hey guys, I think that his buttstock is Yugo, just noticed that strange marking on it, Yugo SKS's and MG3's have a distinctive mark that some soldiers scratched onto. Its a rectangular something, almost a cross. Sorry I cannot describe it: I am at school right now...

Hey, I am a big bad ATF guy, and I am blowing my cover to give you the rules. Naw, just joking. Or maybe I am serious! I love reverse psychology. At any rate, I agree with him, just do the deed and you should be fine. Honestly, the ATF could never take your semi AK47 on the suspicion that you made i...

I wish I had my parts kit right here, but I'm in school, so I guess I am content I don't! Anyways, my Yugo crest is right on top of the cover, right above the latch I believe. As for prevalence, I think the Yugo's crested everything they could get their hands on; which includes Soviet M44's and capt...

I hate having to start a new topic on what might have been previosly (I spelled that wrong, and I don't care) discussed, but I bought an M53 Parts kit from FTF. Everything is grand, except for one thing. I tried to fit an 8 mm bullet down the front of the barrel, and it wouldn't fit... I am not at h...

Ha, ha you are right! I am so caught up with reactivating my gun that I forgot that the receiver pieces are sold as historical memorabilia "wink wink." Also, my gun will look rather odd with Waffen markings displayed big and beautiful, then with the Yugo crest on my top cover (I have a yugo M53).

I agree, thats why I snapped them up ASAP. If anything, I can use them for reference on fabricating whole new receivers, or working with BRP sheet metal.

Sorry none123, I am in school right now, I just got out of class. Ok, the parts set from FTF is complete, just missing the rear part of the receiver. I am lucky, because the barrel shroud is missing the camming section (I assume that is where the trunion locks on), but the trunion is locking onto th...

Yeah, I know they look like crap, if anyone has bought IMA, then please tell me how your pieces looked. Kirk, what do you mean by "should section and barrel bushing guide section."? Also, I was planning on fabricating the camming section. More info on the IMA pieces, or if anybody has built their S/...

Hey guys! I just bought an IMA receiver. Will it do the job (reweld into a SA)?

Ok, ok. As you can tell, I am new to this forum. I just bought my MG3 parts set from FTF industries on Gunbroker about 1 month ago. I joined this forum a few days ago. I always wanted to make a SA-42, so I looked for receivers for my parts set, and all I could find right now is BRP sheet metal, Phil...

Ok, Thanks alot guys! Pirate, you are like Manna from Heaven! Thank you for responding to my post; you are an awesome moderator! As for the rest of you, thanks for the pertinent info, but I did not ask for anything regarding the PKM... I might give pdstout a call sometime. I have a friend who welds,...

Hey guys! Great work on your semi builds! Since F/A MG42 receivers are hard to find these days, what about using the Philadelphia Ordnance 80% Complete MG42 receivers to build a semi? Has anybody tried this, and also, does anybody own a PhilaOrd receiver either as a display or for shooting builds? I...
