[ARCHIVED THREAD] - ORF gonna do it again! And shop updates. (Page 1 of 6)

Posted: 7/1/2004 7:53:20 PM EDT

Guys,
Here we go again. ORF is proud to annouce that we will be making milled Ak74, yes I did type that right Ak74 (5.45x39) receivers. Production is starting in about 2 weeks. Waiting on stock to show up. I will try and get our cad picture posted on here for you guys to see. We are gonna start presaleing them now at an introductory price of $299.95 part # RFM74. Intro price is good for about 1 month from today. After that, they will be approx $349.95. All orders taken with CC's, will not be billed until shipped. Expect receivers to start shipping in approx 6 weeks. Receivers are made from 4140 billet steel, CNC machined to precise accuracy. Fully heat treated, and made to last many many lifetimes! For constructing a Ak74 on our receiver, all you need is a standard stamped rec parts kit! Brls will need pressed in, you will use the brl pin from the trunion in your stamped kit. Receivers will be finished in our special "blark" coating, pretty darn close match to what the stamped 74 kit finish is, so you would not have to refinish the rifle after you complete it. ORF will be mfg rifles too, but will be awhile before we get to that.

UPDATES ON THE SHOP
SEAK project almost all wrapped up, few to ship, about 2 weeks or less on them
GALIL receivers instock and ready to ship
ORF Galil rifles, as of today 2 ARM guns instock ready to ship $1299.95 each
ORF M76 receivers, yeap gonna bust that cherry too! Hope to start production of these in 4-6 weeks
ORF FNC lowers, yet another one, production on these about 6-8 weeks away

We have one small set back but I hope it gets fixed soon. CNC machine #2 is not up and running yet. We are having tool changer problems. Hope this gets fixed within the next week and production stays on sch.

We are still not taking on any new custom jobs just yet. Couple weeks before we get back to that.

Man, you guys are doing more stuff than Todd Bailey. Only your stuff actually ships and actually shoots.

But why, why, why, does your website still say 'OUT OF STOCK' below all your FALs????

Now if I could get a hk-94ish reciever from you guys, I would believe you can walk on water!

That is awesome though.

Rabid,
The FALs are still pretty much out of stock. There are about 4-5 FALs in the store now for sale, couple STG58's $799.95, custom wood carbine $799. When I get time to make another run of them I will update the site.
Toxie,

I will be heading up to ORF around 1030, and will be there when the doors open at 1100. Will take the camera and get some new pics.

What is the time frame for needing to get the M76 receiver? I am very interested, but it will be 2-3 months before I have the $. I had a small affair with this rifle back in the early 1990's.

What about 47 receivers?

I think I'm gonna hafta talk to the folks in payroll and see if I can get an ORF deduction set up.

First the gubmint and now ORF. Oh, the horror!

I think between the home brew, OOW, Global Trades, and Hesse, we're set on 47/74 receivers. It would be cool to see another vendor, but I don't know if that investment would be smart financially.

There is a dude making AR70 receivers...about $350 if I recall.

What about those SIG/AMT kits that DSA had at one point? I can't remember the name of the kits though...but they used a relatively simple stamped receiver.

take care,
Tec

No doubt there Toxie... That ORF MP5 clone will go reall nice with the G3 clone I got at BF...

If you are gonna make an FNC lower reciever, make the bottom of the Mag Well like an AR-15 and box and bevel it for easy insertion. The mag well sux on the FNC. This is an easily correctable problem.

Posted: 7/2/2004 4:39:07 PM EDT

[#31]

Heya Todd,

If you were every planning on doing like a Valmet M78 kinda thing (but that took like G3 mags) I've got a parts set....

Posted: 7/2/2004 6:17:33 PM EDT

[#32]

Guys,
Yes we will do both varients of the 74 receiver, fixed stock and sidefolder. Sidefolder on second run. Yes the M76 rec is for the 8mm Zastava. Lots of rifles became kits and they need to be rifles again. We probably will not do a 47 milled receiver for awhile since Firing Line is running those and has a decent price. If we get caught up and have nothing else to do, ya we will run some.

Todd@ORF

I WANT SIDEFOLDER #00001 !

Posted: 7/2/2004 6:45:53 PM EDT

[#34]

Concentrate all efforts into HK94 type receivers..hehehehe.

After getting the G3 I think I am converting from the dark side.. Somebody help meeee.....

Damn a second mortgage may be in line here! Too many want's and not enough doe trying to get ready for the AWB to sunset.

Edited to add when will you offer IPO's?

Jeep,
Usually #1 goes to Rod the CNC master. If he does not want it it is yours.

Colt,
Hk's are addictive!!! You need a 33 next, G3's brother. Then move to the step kids, MP5, 53, 51.

Todd,

Please consider beveling and tapering the mag well on the FNC as well as fencing the mag release button. Then your product will be superior to the orginal.

Posted: 7/3/2004 10:31:29 AM EDT

[#43]

I need an MP5, yo.

Posted: 7/3/2004 7:34:15 PM EDT

[#44]

Heavy Metal,
Great idea about the mag well. I was planning to put a small fence around the mag release.
Thanks for the input.

Rod@ORF

Posted: 7/3/2004 7:49:47 PM EDT

[#45]

Glad to do it. I just remember that the lack of a bevel was an often cussed feature of the FNC.

Please make sure it is deep enough to lock up early model orlites and all should be swell. Also, you should box it around the bottom like an AR mag well to protect the bevel from accidental damage or you will have an unprotected narrow sharp edge.

PS, Welcome Aboard!

Posted: 7/3/2004 9:06:47 PM EDT

[#46]

Yeah.. Welcome aboard Rod.. It's great to have another member of the ORF crew here..

As allways, thanks soo much for all your hard work...

I can't help, but I can promise to meet you at BF 6 to compare and contrast HK-94's :p
