Have a Romanian 63mod I’m starting real soon, my barrel and receiver our on their way now. Very excited to start my project. This method seems way better then other vids I have seen. Was already looking for tools online for this and they are way too expensive.
thanks. think i found a couple "tilt vice" one ebay. ~60-75$ for a 3" wide vice. i also found a couple knock-off phase II's on ebay for about half the price of the "name brand" phase II. amazon has the phase2 for ~150, ebay has chinese copies for about 80$. Bit expensive but for the accuracy it gives. i just drilled my first receiver trunnion holes by hand... was hard to line them up, and i kinda messed one of em up but the rivet should still cover it. still got 2 other blanks.
Do you have a video showing all of the necessary tools (drill bits mainly) that are used to drill all of the holes? Assuming you started from a 0% receiver.
Can anyone tell me how you`re getting the trunnion perfectly straight in the receiver ? I`v seen so many barrels way off center to the right or left and these are by big name manufacturers ! I`m beginning a build now and it`s a big fear of mine that it`s not straight...My OCD would go thru the roof ! LOL
also, what size drills did you use for the rest of the receiver holes? i've heard that all i really need is 5/32", 7/32", 5mm, 7mm, 10mm? i'm using the ACE updated print to determine hole location. the blanks i have are pre-bent polish 1mm 80%'ers. also was thinkin bout how to TIG weld the rails in. i know some are drilling holes then welding them, or spot welding, but i've already got a TIG. was thinkin of fusion welding, any place i should NOT weld them, if i wer e going to weld the edges?
ive been having issues figuring out how to perfectly locate and drill the holes.. this idea is absolutely perfect

A++ Your are THE MAN! I've tried measuring, using a thin metal strip to line up the holes. This is the best way PERIOD.

I'd like to know where you got that cross slide and vertical vice. i'm about to get a drill press and i'm going to want a nice cross slide like that.
What type drill do you have and some specifics would be very greatly appreciated!
Very helpful content👍
Anyone figure out the table setup? Links?

hey what is the vice you are using on that drill press?
Thank you!!!!!!
Awesome lol. I used a hand drill but this is much more accurate lol.
Well my trunnion can’t be drilled all the way through like that. Yours can’t either. So it looks like he drilled through to the barrel boss.
What is the vertical vise called? I have found the compound tables, but not a vise that will mount vertical.
Its called a tilting vise or angle vise
