This is a photoshop rendering of what a CETME L receiver flat might look like some day. The image is not to scale because I don't have measurements to work from. My photoshopping is self taught, this is the best I came up with.

Seeing solid works mock up of the receivers is nice. With 3d printing I am hoping it speeds the development of receivers as you could check specs and tolerance before making receiver flats. Also hoping APEX will soon be selling the demilled receivers and demilled barrels as that should also speed up things.

Quote HistoryQuoted: Any updates or progress? I am also wondering if/when the demilled barrels and receivers will be released. Here is some good news that will be a big boost to finalizing new US made barrels! I spoke to the production engineers at the importers. They are going to measure the journal sizes and thickness of the breech flange on a dozen original barrels. They are also going to measure the bolt gap on 12 of the complete rifles. That should give me a good set of numbers/tolerances from which to have barrels made. The bolt gap info should be of use to anyone assembling those rifles. At the least it can be compared to the HK33 bolt gap data. Richard |

I believe there are three companies with samples into Firearms Tech Branch for semi-auto approval. This is going to be interesting. Receiver flats are already available (PREXIS) and the semi-auto fire control parts are looking good. I should be contracting with GMRB this week to have barrels made. GMRB is already running HK-33 barrels for APEX. Richard |

Ugh. "Still a bit irked that those of us that jumped in early got the lower quality/condition kits. " This is a surprise? Kits are almost always graded before being used for assembly or disposed of for use as parts. SOP for Century Arms. Most of the parts sets that show up for sale are rejected for assembly/remanufacturing use. Selling the best, first, leaves shit that no one will buy later. Funny how the initial ads show a really nice kit, to get everyone excited. [Cheech Marin] "Hey man, it's raining!" [/Cheech Marin] |
