Receiver rebuild

[2receivers]

I hope I'm on the right page for this. I just want to give new members an observation from a beginner trying to get my 34 up & running. When I 1st. started I had a ton of questions on a rebuild project. It's been about 10 months now but w/ obsticles of life I'm really behind. Anyway-I have spent many months looking @ every pic I can and reading every article I come accross to learn. What I have learned is this.This is not a project for someone who
1] wants to save money by doing it yourself--if you have to buy the welder,argon/argon bottle, maybe a helmet, electrodes.filler wire,dremel or equivilent, files maybe some drills,if you want maybe a jig and maybe some misc. items ,argon gauge ,vise or 2
2] save time because if you are not a master welder or you do not have gallons & gallons of patience it won't work
3]Then you might need some mill work done--not cheap.If you can even find someone willing to do it. hint--you may have to wait a while
4] so far I have 4 tanks of argon @$20.00per
5]you need prints maybe-hint--I have several sets and still cannot match dim. on some parts---there's another cost.
6] this is not everything but the moral of this is --------if you can swing it contact pirate and at least get an estimate.That way it will be professionally done and you will have it a hell of alot quicker.
There it is Points to ponder, mull over and consider

Benefits of being in highschool . I have a master welder teacher, a complete shop of absolutely everything i need, and all the help + advice i could ask for . Now all i need is the 34 kit ...

Good post though, people getting into these projects thinking they can do it all with their dremel tool are in "lala-land". Either you are completely prepared with proper tools and necessary skills, or you send it to Pirate who is !

Yes,as frustrating as the 42/53 builds can get,they are totaly differant than a 34 .This is one receiver that is not forgiving.You really have to plan and take your time.That said,it can be done.The advise about checking with Pirate first is very good-it may be the best way out.Although I think we should say 'Projectguns' as it is no longer a one man band! ---bil

Hi guys...Happy holidays to you all! I'm Jorge, Pirate's partner. I haven't been on line too much lately, but I'll do better. I can't tell you guys what a pleasure it is to be working with Pirate. We took an Idea we had n=been talking about for years and actually made it happen...Building guns for a living.
Thankfully we hve had alot of work and barring any Obaminations, we hope to build alot of cool stuff for you all and for us " Posties!!"
Anyways, Happy Holidays to all, and a good New Year.


BTW This was the first site I ever visited when I was getting back into shooting!! It's excellent
