Im glad ya like the show, its just us being ourselfs, then edited.....LOL!
I got the 84s as a box of saw cut parts with no trigger group. The end of the barrel was chunked out, and about 19 inches long, so maybe Canadian?
I suspect it was a Bwest build, but I dont know...why else cut one up, ? Ive never heard of the Chinese selling parts kits.
I built the receiver, etc, with a press and spot welder, and furnace I have in my village, but when I made the first reciver, my heat treating just wasnt so great, my rockwell scale pinged all over, the second try was much better and consistent.
I put it together and took it to camp, gave it a try, tuned it, and just couldnt get the groups my kids did, although I outshot them with an Enfeild 1917, with its excellent peeps............hmmmmm.
In my camp junk box, for some reason, there were left over G3 parts, so some measuring, belt sanding, drilling, (I have a small generator here for such, and this internet dish, at camp) and final hand fitting.
I took, off the sights, shortend the barrel to 16-1/4” the front sight is cut at the second ring down, where the G3 bayonet mount would be, and put two small screws, one from each side. It more like a clamp on the gas tube, a good friction fit, the screws fix it there.
The rear sight is also screwed down, to the top cover.
The top cover is held witha steeper taper on the return spring guides top cover lock, as well, Ive also tapped two screws into the rear of the cover to take up an slack and realign the cover with each reassembly, making the top cover rather tight.
Its still happy at about 1,500 round count, as with Wuhan virus ammo availability
weirdness we're not recreational shooting, so I left it at home, in Noorvik.
My Youtube of the Galil mags narrowing of the front end, welding and tab fit has an error, so I might have to do another.
