Guys,
M76 prototype rec's should be done this week. We will assemble a few and go blasting. These bad boys have some serious machine work in them. Probably our biggest project so far for moving metal. I thought the Galils were a mo fo, but these are probably twice the work with the machined in scope rail. Same as the other machined receivers we are producing, made from 4140 billets, CNC machined, then fully heat treated for lifetime of use. The receivers we are gonna start taking orders for this week. Intro price of $499.95. We will offer guns soon too, they will be about $1800.00. The RF markings on the gun were placed by the selector switch, so they are visible when selector is up and down, fully when selector is removed. Did this for the guys that like the "most original" look possible. The lighting cut is not complete yet, we are gonna run a ballnose endmill on the edges to "blend" it like the original cut was. Can you get it wo the cut? Probably not, doing just one or two like that then crossing our fingers that in a different setup a tool does not burn up and toast the entire receiver is possible, then you would wait on the next batch to be produced and fingers crossed again.
