Scrap Pile Trunion

Ive seen many receivers cut like this for sale in Germany. They arent that expensive either..maybe $20-$50. The rest of it is fine, but the front trunions are all cut like that. Damn shame.

My source is a bit shady. I originally found him on egun.de last year. He had the receivers (uncut) available on the auction for 10 euros a piece. So I ordered 3 and some small parts. The stuff never arrived. According to egun.de staff, the guy was sent to prison (for what I don’t know). Last month I get an email from him (after 7 months) asking if I still want parts. After getting the shaft from him earlier, I was still a bit pissed and skeptical, but I really needed a rear trunion and trigger guard. I decided to order one from him. His prices went up. For him to send it cut, he was charging 30 euros shipped now. I told him to cut the receiver through the magwell and not to send the front section. Needless to say, he sent both pieces. I didn’t show a pic of the rear, as I was unsure if the cut was legal, considering I had the front section too. Naturally, I destroyed the rear portion and removed the parts I needed since. I plan to order one more from him so I have another set to build off of. I can ask him if he is willing to deal with others….of course I want to get my order in first just incase he raises his prices due to interest in the receivers.
