  • EDIT: the slot in the front of the receiver is not deep enough for the cleaning rod but works great for the lower hand guard.

    found your channel on accident. I just retired from the military. I decided to do something else with my life and became a machinist. I started training two weeks before this video uploaded. Definitely want to get my 07 ffl and dive deeper into machining and all things gun/nfa related. love the channel, keep it comin.

  • @candtdesignsandarms9617

    Badly wanting a milled UF or SF RPK amalgamation. like a SAM7SF with a bulgy rpk barrel or SAM5UF RPK done similarly.....at the same time I desire my SAM7SF-84r cut to 14.5 p&w.. This ain't helping lol! Masterfully done! as all your work, thanks Mr. Serbu!

    Ive had one of these 80 percent receivers for years now. finally getting around to putting it together but can seem to pin down the dimensions. Tortort has some on their website. i have tried contacting them numerous times to confirm those are correct--i dont want to assume and screw it up. do have any idea where to find the drawings?

  • @phillipriggs3375
    @phillipriggs3375 Před 2 lety +1

    Does he do re-welds so you can preserve original cartouches ?
    Receiver looks heat treated, you work slowly as if it is but shavings say not, so what is it ?
    Will you heat treat ?
    VERY GOOD VIDEO, THANK YOU !!!!!!!!!!!!

    Would a Tortort receiver like this one work for a Yugo M64 underfolder build?

    • @Mel64d
      @Mel64d  Před 2 lety

      M64 Yugo has a screw in barrel. If you want to switch to a press and pin barrel then an M64 kit might work. I say "might" because I'm not 100% sure if the M64 barrel components will work with a press and pin barrel profile.
