[turbothis]

Uhh...did you just reweld the original receiver?

[turbothis]

yes, starting with the third pin holes.

[hulygan]

nice job on that turbo.

[K.O.A.M.]

Good deal. Great reconstruction job.

[turbothis]

i sprayed it with a hammerite paint and it turned out glossy on the pictures. looks better in person.

where did you get that reciever chunk set?

OK, Turbo, here goes- I measured my ORF receiver for you, got 10.1 inches from trunnion to top rear. Hope your rifle goes together right- you will love that gun when it's done.

[turbothis]

thanks for the measurement. i got 10 1/4" for the ak site and that seemed to be right where i wanted it to be.

i got the reveiver off gunbroker. the guy had 2 but i did not snap up the second one fast enough.

Cool Turbo-not sure, but i think I started a "Member Galil Pics" thread, so let's see that baby when it's built!
