And when you do find the parts they are scattered across many vendors that the shipping/handling charges add up quickly. I just completed my McKay build and keep slapping myself not starting it years ago when parts were everywhere and not expensive.

The solution I used works perfect - but I had the part in a parts bin so not sure how easy to get. I used a sling swivel post used on a M10/11 semi and the post barely goes through the receiver wall and then a c clamp holds it in.

Stampcollector, Did you ever have this done? If so, are you happy and who did you use? I also like to know roughly what it cost. Thanks

I have a Galil model 372. It was one that originally imported via Magnum Research but was sold through Action Arms (I believe these are referred to as "Transition Guns"). There is an area on the left side of the receiver where the "Magnum Research" info was and was slightly milled out removing...

Google for videos of "Breaking into Gun Safes" and you won't feel as comfortable. If someone knows what they are doing, it can only take minutes. (Generally they can cut out the sides and not go through the front. :O( ) BUT- better they can be better than nothing and it may keep amateurs...

Thanks for the info. I printed out a Form 1 and need to study it. I would love it IF the only engraving I'd have to have done is on the barrel. The McKay receiver went through a FFL. I have had the gun assembled (with the receiver still "in the white") and it works perfect. Thanks for replying...

I have to admit I need to research this. I would prefer barrel of course. Do you know if the serial number McKay put on it is all that is needed, or, do I need to create a new one for the Form 1? (my next step is to pull up a Form 1 and see what it has one it).

Thank you guys, thanks for your answers and taking the time to type lengthy replies. I am still trying to decide if I want to SBR it that will require engraving, so that has to come before all else.

Parkerizing sounds easy, I just don't know if I want to "learn" on a pretty expensive part (to me anyway). BUT- it is sometime I might try on misc parts (like old magazines, etc.). What is slowing me down is if I SBR it I have to have it engraved with my name and city/state? I have read...

Great idea Thanks

I am still looking at options to put a finish on my McKay receiver. I had my "in the white" McKay receiver sandblasted and learned (always the hard way) that you just have a short period of time to do the parkerizing after sandblasting. Opps- my bad. I do not "see" any rust on it and it is...

Thanks guys. Yep- a polished "blue" finish on it. My answer has been received and I thank you. Happy New Year (we all hope)

I have come across a UZI Mag that I am not sure who made it. It is commercial, so I assume low quality. I have looked at many images in "Google" and cannot find a match. It's probably a ProMag, but cannot tell. There are no markings on it (not even cartridge "counter" numbers) and the "mag...

If I do not "give it a go myself"- that is who I will use. :O)

IMI Galil Model 372. It is not fired that much and it looks brand new. My kids will enjoy the great shape it is in. I use my guns but do keep them nice. The Galil is not fired that much because it has brothers and sisters crying for food as well. The last time I looked at sold actions on GB...
