Tortort 80% Receiver (Re-upload)

EDIT: the slot in the front of the receiver is not deep enough for the cleaning rod but works great for the lower hand guard.

Just wanted to say thanks been watching your vids for years and a couple months ago started building myself. On my 3rd ak now and absolutely love it so cool taking a bag of parts and turning back into its former glory. Thanks again and keep it up brother.

[@DiMeNsloNs1]

Those G2 triggers are some of the best. Hard to find now days.

[@candtdesignsandarms9617]

Brother thank you for the work you do. Started watching you in 18 when I wanted to get into building AKs. You do awesome work and have helped me a hell of a lot! Keep up the great work!!! Thank you again

[@joecoastie99]

found your channel on accident. I just retired from the military. I decided to do something else with my life and became a machinist. I started training two weeks before this video uploaded. Definitely want to get my 07 ffl and dive deeper into machining and all things gun/nfa related. love the channel, keep it comin.

[@romchik07]

Mel, you are a master! I'm gonna be doing an M70 build with the Tortort but gonna use their 100% receiver. Thanks for a another great video!

[@johnloftin5604]

Just want say that I really enjoy your videos. They have helped me out tremendously. Thinking of using a Tortort Receiver for a Galil build. I may use a 100 percent one though. Keep up the good work.

[@recon66661]

Man I miss these builds ! Thanks for sharing!

[@chopperjohnparamedic2219]

Hay brother, as the time we are in. You need to do an AK Build For Dummies as a lot of us need it right now. thanks to your videos over the years I am proud to say I am working on one myself could use the build video. Thanks for all you do.

[@lilgbz28]

I 2nd this if ya could.

[@robertspickler1385]

L O N G awaited, nice to see you are posting more content!!!!!! Hopefully you will be doing this more frequently Now??? Thank You.

[@janvodros8238]

Perfect video again. I like very much Your videos. Thanks.

[@tom1263]

Wow, Missed your videos. Glad to something fairly recent

[@smoothsteve8331]

Hell you have a mill make your own receiver from scratch

[@scottlehman9738]

Very nice work.

[@occif2023]

They are constantly sold out of these. I was lucky a year ago but haven't seen any in a long time.

[@Triste916]

Good job. Nicely done.

[@Z0mb3hHunt3r]

Badly wanting a milled UF or SF RPK amalgamation. like a SAM7SF with a bulgy rpk barrel or SAM5UF RPK done similarly.....at the same time I desire my SAM7SF-84r cut to 14.5 p&w.. This ain't helping lol! Masterfully done! as all your work, thanks Mr. Serbu!

[@lilgbz28]

Dame u one badass mofo. Thank you for all your vids through out the yrs.

[@tyrvidar]

Mel, please put your material on Rumble for us, this Platform is going to shit. I'd love to see your stuff preserved over there. You'll have more freedom as well. As usual sir, great stuff!!!

[@tlrinc2343]

Very nice. I want to build one of those

[@gilliland426]

very nice!

[@shawcobra]

Damn, unfortunately looks like Tortort aren't making 80 percents anymore by the looks of things.

[@PastaLaVista.]

Those tooling marks! Woof!

[@Or3guns]

What a shame they cut that beautiful milled AK reciever in pieces

[@sethshook]

Ive had one of these 80 percent receivers for years now. finally getting around to putting it together but can seem to pin down the dimensions. Tortort has some on their website. i have tried contacting them numerous times to confirm those are correct--i dont want to assume and screw it up. do have any idea where to find the drawings?

[@dillondurham8692]

Hey mel you ever do a yugo m76?

[@user-zr4pv8rv3u]

❤

[@phillipriggs3375]

Does he do re-welds so you can preserve original cartouches ? Receiver looks heat treated, you work slowly as if it is but shavings say not, so what is it ? Will you heat treat ? VERY GOOD VIDEO, THANK YOU !!!!!!!!!!!!

[@Mel64d]

No re welds, all new production. Receiver is heat treated to 40-43Hrc.

[@phillipriggs3375]

@@Mel64d Thank You, Happy New Year, I was/ am if you can say that, a machinist. You are good, be safe. I still have all my fingers and want us all to be able to say that.

[@wcsdiaries]

@@Mel64d will this work on non milled receivers?

[@drmachinewerke1]

I can not find the 80s on the site

[@skirkdouglas]

I think they stopped producing the 80% receivers!

[@pepekekistani4472]

Would a Tortort receiver like this one work for a Yugo M64 underfolder build?

[@Mel64d]

M64 Yugo has a screw in barrel. If you want to switch to a press and pin barrel then an M64 kit might work. I say "might" because I'm not 100% sure if the M64 barrel components will work with a press and pin barrel profile.

[@pepekekistani4472]

@@Mel64d Maybe the M64 barrel has threads on it that can be filed down a bit, and then that same barrel could be pressed into a Tortort receiver like the one in this video?

[@Mel64d]

@@pepekekistani4472 If you have the tools and the will...you can do just about anything you want. Up to you to decide what direction you want to go.

[@pepekekistani4472]
