Receiver Short Rail Matt Black G10

I went at this not knowing anything.I considered it 120.00 for a lesson. I ended up with functional receiver, but a less than perfect barrel hole. I agree with Karl on the jig. There was nowhere to clamp too and I stepped up roughly a quarter inch each pass, and ended up off center. I was able to open it up further for a straight shot with an adjustable v-block. I can't wait to get my next. I believe in hands on learning and this was the most fun I've had working on anything in a while. I wouldn't get in a classroom for 120.00. The blueprint was laymen enough that I could follow, and the jig made it even easier. I will be getting more, thanks!

I just finished my third one. Great product, great shipping. If you have a box of spare 10-22 parts like I do this is a great way to use them. I use a junky old HF mill-drill and a boring head for the barrel hole and have the setup, tooling and procedure down pat now. I can turn one out complete in about an hour. A tip: cover the entire piece, inside and out, with green (or blue) masking tape before you start.

Just finished up my first receiver from you folks, it went pretty well. Only two little problems, 1st had to due a little grinding to get bolt inserted, 2nd I wish that the jig had a better means of being held in place while drilling the barrel hole.

5/5

Terrific deal for a handy DIY person. Quick service and easy access to Phil if you need help. I did whole receiver with a small drill press and it came out well. I will use step drills and reamer on big barrel hole for easier drilling next time. Quality machining and anodizing part looked great? I now have an extra 10 22 rifle with parts I had from upgrading triggers and bolt / stocks. Jig was good but a drill press vise is a must. Getting ready to make a few more soon. Thanks Phil good stuff !!!!

Great receiver and was very happy with the way my project turned out, but I was disappointed that after ordering the jig and drill set with this, that the video does not show drilling the barrel port and the instructions suggest that you not drill the final 11/16" barrel port on your own. Why sell the kit and all the accoutrements if it can't be done in your own garage shop...after all, that is the purpose right? Anyhow, I ground the rail off the top and made it to the specs of a regular 10/22 receiver and mounted it in ProMag Archangel Charger 556 stock kit and it works great! I will be doing another one soon. See my other reviews for the 11/16" drill bit before you buy everything.

This is the second receiver I have purchased, yet again to fail because of the barrel hole. I purchased the drill fixture with my first receiver, which worked well, until I couldn't get a third hand to drill the barrel hole. I ended up being off by 1.2 mm. When assembled, it fired fine, but required manual loading as any attempt to chamber would jam. For the second receiver, I purchased the barrel hole center locator (SFCPK-1) and used the "Barrel hole center finder in correct position" image as a reference on how to align the tool. Well what do you know. After carefully stepping up my bits and finishing with the reamer, the barrel does not want to go into the receiver since it is too close to the lip! I'm not sure whether to purchase, yet another receiver, or just give up entirely...

Simply outstanding! I was put off by the price at first. When I finally had one in hand found it was money well spent. In fact, I was engulfed with the feeling of "why would you do it any other way?" If you're considering a 10/22-like project the Razor is the only way to go. In addition to building more of these I'm going to tackle the magnum version, too.

5/5

I bought the Razor receiver and tool kit and jig tool. I watched the video several times and followed it to the T. When I assembled the 10/22 the barrel was off center and pointing to the right making it Unusable! So I ordered a second Razor and built a jig and watched the video again. This time I spent more time to make sure everything was square and true. The jig is hard to clamp and the barrel hole Locator is impossible to use as I was instructed to start the pilot hole then gradually increase the drill bit till the reamer is used. Failed again! I’m disappointed with the jig and the instructions are awful! I am determined to finish a receiver but I may have to buy a different jig somewhere.

I built mine using a milling machine instead of a drill press, and I used an 11/16 reamer for the barrel hole. I assembled it using a Select Fire LLC bolt, a Ruger target trigger module, and a fluted bull barrel. After checking it with .22lr dummies, I took it to the range and it worked flawlessly. I fired both plated and plain lead bullets, and it worked like a charm. I would highly recommend it. I've built 80% ARs and 1911s. This was the easiest of them all, with great results.

5/5

This was my first 80% 1022 build. I have built several AR’s from 80% lowers and this project is much easier. First the best way I found to clamp the receiver in place was to use a Picatinny Rail Vise. (Like this one. hxxp://www.midwayusa.com/product/878754/pri-upper-receiver-picatinny-rail-vise-block-ar-15 You can clamp to the vice blocks and you don’t have to worry about scratching your 80% receiver. Next tip when marking the barrel location, I used the jig and a center locating punch from HF. One tap with a hammer to mark center, then used an automatic center punch to get a deeper mark. Mounted the receiver in a vice under the drill press, making sure everything was level, then used a 1/8 inch drill bit to get a starter hole. I then used stepped drill bits to get up to the 11/16 hole for the barrel. Finished the final 11/16 hole with the drill bit from the kit. The picatinny rail vice was helpful with all the holes except for the side receiver and buffer spring holes. I would consider it a must have tool. It certainly works easier than any home built wood clamp. Hope this helps everyone else as they work through their builds.

I am still waiting to get a new drill press before I start on my receivers . The overall design is good and sturdy. Well made product . I will buy more of these receivers in the future.

5/5

Built it per instructions. Was fairly easy. Proud of my work. Best part it works!

5/5

loved building my first none AR platform rifle. used the Select Fire jig works great. color is good quality milled receiver blank with fast shipping. good price. Just watch the video and you should have no problem. Hopefully will be doing a 22 Mag soon.

5/5

To any that are considering purchesing one of Razor receivers or the magnum receiver, I can promise you! You will not find a better one as far as I am concerned, I have used every style they produce, I am more than happy with them and will not take my business any where else. They stand behind their product 100% with out fail and their customer support is the best in the buisness.

5/5

This is an exceptionally finished receiver. I test fitted the internal components ant they fit perfectly. I highly recommend this receiver if you are looking to build a Ruger 10/2 Ken A.

5/5

Perfect product. I did see the videos about completion but did not follow the advice regarding barrel hole. I have a ancient Craftsman drill press that I could dial down to 400 rpm, and my first pass at the barrel hole was 3/8, then up 1/16 until I got to 11/16 - the new bits cut very well and very easy at that speed, and I finished off with the reamer included in the kit. The AGP Arms takedown adapter fit the resulting hole with a slight press fit - perfect, really. Very happy with the results.

5/5

Wanted a cheaper alternitive to $325 plus 10/22 (if you can find one). With everyone going crazy on prices this was a nice find, now just have to finish it.

5/5

This is a top notch receiver. I will be buying more soon. I have had a good time assembling this project and have told a few friends about it. Super Fast shipping and great communication from Phil! What more can i say but Buy one or a dozen for yourself!

5/5

I ordered this item on 1/7/13 and received it 1/9/13, very fast service. Now on to the receiver, As someone use to do anodizing and (currently) chromate aluminum. This is a fine piece of work here. Matter of fact I don't even understand why the instructions recommend wet sanding to get rid of burs and edges, this thing is clean! Just ordered the jig and bit set and it's already being shipped. WILL DEFINITELY BE DOING BUSINESS WITH THIS COMPANY AGAIN!

This is a quality, solid, well-finished receiver and an excellent place to start when building from scratch. Just be sure you don't rush it. I will be buying more of these in the future.

Quality of 10/22 Razor is perfect. Fit and finish is perfect. Shipping was fast. Bought the drill it kit with it. Bits were quite the low quality you would expect for the price. It's a nice offer but be advised if the quality. Would absolutely buy more Razors.

5/5

Quality piece of merchandise and quality people to do business with!

5/5

So I ordered two of these receivers and got them fast only problem is one had some small gouges. Well to my suprise I sent an email and it was answered within 2hrs and a night to top it off. Long story short they gladly sent me a new one no hassles. As of now I have drilled out all the holes but the barrel waiting for it to show so I can mic it first so far so good jig works great takes out all the guess work even though the plans are spot on. Buy 1or 3 you will not be sorry.

5/5

I got the black anodized copy, it looked good when I started and I took no precautions to guard against marring or scratching...it looks just as good as when I started...the finish is great and the fit is like factory...
