I don't know if you've already gotten started but at one time there was some type of pictorial on how to do the razor receiver (I believe) using a drill press on the Select Fire web site. I don't know if it's still there but there was some good pics here on Rimfire Central also. I don't know the URL's off hand but maybe somebody that remembers the threads can post the URL's.

 

hey, you started this build??? hows it goin???



only prob with the video is they don't show how to properly do the barrel hole... without a mill/boringtool/reamer, i don't dare do it.

here's the vid link:

 

jeebes,
I was just getting ready to post on here if anyone has done one. If you complete it, would you be willing to drill my holes in my blank reciever? Ill pay if your willing

 

I don't believe that it's legal to have someone else do the work...pretty sure you have to do the machining yourself, or both parties could be in trouble

 

Drill barrel hole Razor

Yep, read that on here too. Don't know for sure about the legal end myself. I think it was mentioned in one of the Razor Magnum threads early on, not for sure. Might do some searching on here.

Good luck on the build. Most folks don't have access to a milling machine but that's the best way to go on the barrel hole if available to you. Select Fire has really provided us an affordable way to have a magnum receiver.

I was unaware of that. Well that just sucks

 

If you know somebody with a mill that can show you how to set it up and operate and stand by to give instructions you can do it that way. You can't have somebody else do the work for you. I will say that the Razor magnum receiver has been done on a drill press -- I did mine that way -- all the holes including the barrel hole.

 

You can have anyone help you with the build,you just cant sell it!

 

Actually you can sell it, just can't build it with the intent to sell it, that would be manufacturing. Personally I wouldn't want to prove it either way, but it's all about intent.

 

I do have to ask, Does anyone have a website that states the law about building one? I was talking to a guy that said it was illegal to make a gun. With them being 80 percent complete once you drill a hole it is illegal.I have no idea on this subject.

9. May I lawfully make a firearm for my own personal use, provided it is not being made for resale?
Firearms may be lawfully made by persons who do not hold a manufacturer's license under the GCA provided they are not for sale or distribution and the maker is not prohibited from receiving or possessing firearms. However, a person is prohibited from assembling a non-sporting semiautomatic rifle or shotgun from 10 or more imported parts, as set forth in regulations in 27 C.F.R. 478.39. In addition, the making of an NFA firearm requires a tax payment and advance approval by ATF. An application to make a machinegun will not be approved unless documentation is submitted showing that the firearm is being made for the official use of a Federal, State, or local government agency (18 U.S.C. § 922(o),(r); 26 U.S.C. § 5822; 27 C.F.R. §§ 478.39, 479.62, and 479.105).

 

Any luck on the build? Updates?

 

I have the cross pin holes drilled and all the parts to assemble once I get the rest of the holes drilled. Been swamped with work and have been busy calling coyotes and now hunting snow geese. This project kinda got pushed to the back burner. I wanna get it done this spring before I go shoot prairie dogs, good time to test it out. Will post more pictures once I make some more progress and get it assembled.

 

Doesn't the jig and the drill bit available from the manufacture allow you to drill the barrel hole?

 

This is a picture of the newer 22 magnum jig. Notice at the right end there is circular like part with a hole in it. That fits into the area where the barrel hole is to be drilled and requires a punch to make a good start point.

I can't find it now but Phil sold at one time a barrel hole jig with punch. It is at least twice as thick as the barrel hole jig section on the red magnum jig and is what I used to do the barrel hole.

I am a bit computer challenged but it seems this link goes somewhere not related. Please correct me if I am wrong cause it’s driving me crazy.

 

the barrel hole can be done on a crappy drill press. and perfect. i did mine that way. here is my first range report. at 100 yards. Contact 22_boomer for his patented barrel method

 

where do you get the bolt and other parts needed for the magnum build. Arent they different from the long rifle? Rick!

 

Bolt and charging handle are included with the receiver.

 

Project Update

I ordered a reamer today so maybe I'll finally get my barrel hole drilled. I hope to have the receiver finished by the end of the weekend. Will post progress as it happens.

 

I mocked it up in the stock tonight also, here's a teaser.

 

Finally finished it! It has it's flaws, but I think it went together pretty well for my first 80% build.

Reaming the barrel hole

And the v-block holes

Finished project

 

I wouldn't say finished project. Maybe finished building. Now the fun begins to get it to cycle rounds

 

I had it cycling last night after I put it together, so far so good.

 

did you have to open the front of the bolt to accept the round? trim the bottom of the bolt to clear the magazine??

 

Nope didn't have to open the bolt, and the bottom of the bolt was already milled to clear the magazine when I got it. I think Phil? from select fire got enough complaints and milled then to clear the magazine before he sell them.

 

Mine came about 3 weeks ago. And the bolt was pretty messed up. Took a few hours of tweaking to get it going.

 

Sorry to hijack, but what trigger group do you guys use on these magnum builds? Does the company sell them aswell? Do you use a standard 10/22 and upgrade the spring?

 

Im using a stock ruger 10/22 trigger group. Stock spring, might get a light fin strike every 50 rounds or so but works fairly well.
