Anyone got a line on them? @tothemax @jag2955 I need some receivers to get my 2 built. I have not looked into it as of late. |

I have not looked into it as of late.  But I haz no receivers at all right meow. There's some PTR/HK flats floating around, which would work, but I want the proper CETME flat sided magwell. |

Yes, welding is required. That's what ToTheMax is for. ETA: Non-AR/glock/ builds in order of difficulty, entirely my opinion Least Difficult VZ61 FAL Galil VZ58 AKs I'm going to put CETMEs et al here, though I haven't done one yet. Most Difficult |

Got one from Centerfire and its excellent, despite the patina the bore looks new, I even managed to demil it without ruining it Attached File Attached File Attached File Attached File next step... Attached File I was too slow to get the proper flat, now I'm tempted to grab a FMP kit to build off this one while I wait for the CETME flats to come back in stock. |
No one could take His life, He laid it down for me,
That twisted wreath of thorns, yea He took that crown for me,
But after three days, out of the ground for me,
He overcame it all, now I live to serve Him

The barrel trunnion, cocking tube, and rear sight will need to be welded in to/on to the receiver. The trigger pack would need to be modified to fit that receiver. |

Damn, this is very tempting if these aren't beat-to-shit guns out of Africa. I've been holding out on G3 kits with populated barrels, but I may have to jump on one of these. |
