New info on bent receivers!

[G.T.]

Hello to all, well, the G.T. Specialties re-barreling service has been going well, as long as can scrape up quality barrels to install? My barrel making plans have been stalled with ever changing machinist status. So, somewhere down the road, I'll need a mill... time will tell on that quest... But, during my most recent barrel changing efforts, I ran into several receivers that looked pretty good, but were crushed slightly right behind the chamber, and also spread out a few thousands at the toggle pin hole area. This condition causes the receiver to pinch the breech block and as a result retards function to a point of short cycle, if, it will even cycle at all??.......... The cause of this deformation is mostly due to "first time" gun smith attempts using improper tools and holding fixtures... They are easy to tell, as they won't usually touch a luger again!......... Goes back to that omelet and breaking eggs thing?........ Anyway, I have built some fixtures to gently and accurately restore and straighten these problem receivers... It really takes some intense study, as you have to determine what is straight and concentric, and what is not? And then proceed from there... The results have been excellent! If anyone needs this service, email me at: gctomeks@msn.com Best to all, til....lat'r......GT....
