Where? I don't see any receiver parts on their web site.

I think they are gone already. Apparently they only had 10 sets (I got that second hand, so YMMV).

I could get rich manufacturing sheet metal receivers if they are going that quick. How come you can't sell a car this quick?

I think some people will be disapointed when they realize they still dont have enough to build a receiver. neither the IMA rears or the century barrel shrouds include the cam piece "section"

That section shouldn't be that hard to replicate. Assuming you have have a full receiver as a model.

yup you still need that cam section and the only place to get them was the brp scraps from demilled guns that used to be available for $25 man I wish I had bought more of them

I managed to get a set. I ordered it for the simple reasons of:

1) It overlaps the rear cut section of my Angola Armory set, with one of the rivet holes for the rails on the rear most section, and will aid in spacing the pieces

2) The German markings that are torched out of my AA kit are there.

3) It is the same Mfg and year as my AA Kit.

4) The rear section has the upward curve at the back of the feed cover that is cut out of my AA kit. This part will be hard to back up with copper if I have to allow for the curve.

5) I only plan to use the rear most section. I will put my original rear section, the other two cut parts, and the air jacket that came with my SOG kit together and put it on GB. That way I will have the rear section for nothing (maybe make a profit).

Now let us see how badly it is cut, and the condition the parts are in when I get them!

I have a BRP kit and one of Dans receivers. You might have some dimensional problems mixing manufactures. YMMV

Im backing up the curves on my reciever with copper ribbon, i got mine from an electrician where i work, very thin and easy to bend into shape! if u need some let know and i can c if i can get some and ship it 2 u if u need it! later Brian!

have you tried the ribbon yet, I tried brass thin sheet once and it was a big mistake. It got pulled enough to become part of the weld and that was on a good Miller with a lot of control. I was trying to use it rapped around steel rod to get a demision that I didn't have a cut piece of brass or copper for. Just go easy but watch out for it getting sucked into the puddle, that is the only way I can explian what happened.

im thinking copper can take more heat , so im hoping it will work ok, all i can do is try and c what happens! later Brian!

One of the reasons I ordered one of these receiver chunk sets it that they were from the same mfg (DFB) and the same year (MU 1944?). I figured that they would probably match up pretty good. I was going to take the stock attachment hardware off of the bottom of the receiver anyway to weld in a restricter, so that area would be wide open to weld up.

Let me know how the copper ribbon works out. I was just going to flatten out copper plumbing fittings like Pirate said.

By the way, I got an E-mail from IMA saying that one of the items I ordered was on back order. I bet it's my receiver pieces!

The ribbon is too thin. You will melt it and it will pool into the weld.

I got an email from IMA last night. It looks like this deal is dead.

Reading between the lines, it looks like the BATFE pulled approval on the receiver pieces.
