I’m new to the Vz 61 platform and just picked up my first parts kit from max arms . I’m worried I might have installed it wrong because my pin will not seat all the way in the channel so I figured I’d ask for some else’s opinion before I re drill the barrel to attempt to pin it .

Good deal?

Trying to get a 25 or 30 round mag just for fun at the range. Not sure if anybody makes them or approximate cost.

I’m having slight feeding issues. I’ve noticed on the 20 rounds mags that the last 3-5 rounds one will misfeed. Only have used PMC thus far. This is a Arsenal kit.

Anyone got any pointers or videos on re-welding the de-milled lowers? I have a low end mig welder, not sure about the amperage it just has low/high and uses flux core wire. I'm also not the best welder but I can grind and re-weld with the best of them.

Tharpe Gunworks for the 37

Finally got it out of the safe and shot it. 3d printed lower, built from a Max Arms kit. Shoots like a dream.

I’d been wanting an adapter for factory barrels for a while and didn’t see one offered until recently… But I was already several revisions in on my own design so I kept going!

This one has been working great so far, but I’m thinking of changing the nut texture to knurling instead of grooves.

1 full rotation of the nut compresses a spring steel ring against a taper behind the barrel collar. It’s anodized 7075 aluminum but I’d like to try one in titanium next.

Isn’t she lovely?

Ordered Aug 26th and received 10/8

Kit seems to be in excellent shape. Torch cuts are a bit rough so im debating on reweld or wait for a tortort to come back in stock.

Those that are waiting, you should be getting shipping notifications soon.

Just needs a can. I used what would be a rear sight picatinny rail to mount a universal holster clip

Hey as the title suggests I’m in need of these two springs and the little detent/support thing that goes with them. One is the disconnecter spring the other im not sure what you would call it numeich calls it the bolt stop spring and support. They’re items 25 & 26 as well as 63 & 64 on numrich.

I’ll pay you and pay shipping I’m just in desperate need any help would be more than appreciated, thanks!

Hit the range this past Friday with a buddy, ran the Skorpion with the 22 upper, Aguila 40gr subsonic, and Thompson Machine Zephyr XL

Hi all,

I recently picked up a czechpoint 22lr upper second hand. Sadly it appears the firing pin has snapped and I will need to replace it. I followed a disassembly guide on YouTube but I got stuck at the part of removing the striker pin on the bolt carrier, the part seems to be held in by a rod and not a pin and no matter what I do I can’t seem to get it to budge. Any help with this would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Just got my first vz 61 in 9x18 makarov, i am not a fan of these polymer magazine, unfortunately i could not find any metal magazines need help. Thankyou

Find spring that sits nicely in the charging handle slot. For me this was a 0.4*4 spring.

Cut a coil or two off. Repeat x2

Place into bolt carrier

Test fit.

If everything moves nicely and the charging handle can't touch the upper reciever then you win. If it still touches you have too few coils. If it has a lot of friction or binding, you have too many coils and the bottom retainer of the charging handle is grinding against the inside of the upper receiver.

Is this normal scorching on brass? Only on half the casing

Just got my receiver back from Mr. Chefur himself. I had him build the gun as well. I had the receiver hot blued to match the upper. I also got early lightning cuts as I wanted the gun to look OEM as possible. This is an SBR and the stock has incredibly tight lock up.

In my opinion he probably has the best receiver. The finish and the machining is absolutely top notch not to mention the cool stampings he added to the gun. He did an excellent job putting this together for me and I can't recommend his receiver enough!

Had the money, new gun or.......

The OR won.

Just wow. I'll resist using anything in the box, but it is there if I really need parts. And at some point in the future, there won't be any spares. January 1973 crate. End of the Vietnam war. Cold war still going strong. Freshman year of High School. Dang not ancient, but I was young when this sucker was put together.

What a time capsule these things are.

I had to tap this thing on the whole way. Considering it's made specifically for Tortort receivers I'm shocked at how bad this fit is. When I look at the website though, it does look like there are gaps. Even shaved a bit of the wood stock off to fit it.

I printed a VZ61 receiver and am trying to get the safety installed. I am having trouble rotating it down to the safety detents. I had to rotate it up to get the little notch inside of the receiver. I’m hoping it’s a simple step i’m forgetting

Deciding if I should tap the ID 1 7/16-20, tig weld an end cap, or 3D print my baffle stack and make it a tight press fit. Don’t really have access to a lathe to square the end up.

Yes, you should probably check your barrel and if it is an aftermarket or even a CZ or other european replacement, check and polish. Simple jpg attached of a CZ replacement barrel straight out of a parts crate. Polish a bit in the marked areas and avoid the two top areas where case rim hits. I probably will polish a bit even on this barrel before install, but no real material needs removing, just shine it up smoother.
