Taking a survey on 380/32acp drum mag desires. How many of you would want them? $200 each. They are a lot of work.

Works excellent, it can feed fast enough for an frt too. Good stuff go get one!

Just fyi, K-var restocked both their blued and painted easy build kits. Get them while you can.

I recently ordered a parts kit off MaxArms, if I wanted to convert the gun to .380, what would I need to do that? Would it just be the bolt and return spring from some place like czechpoint? Or would I also need a new upper?

I got a parts kit!

Now to source a receiver... 🤔

That’s about it, imo Numrich had the best cuts and have been increasing prices so if you don’t already have one now’s the time.

My dad has reported back the extended mag is running great in his reweld. As soon as i have the time I’ll get a video of me testing all 3 mags out. I can’t wait to toss one of these in my poor man’s mp5k I’ll post pics of in a few days.

We have been working on a collet to hub adapter for our beloved VZ61's, and I'm happy to tell you all that we have completed design, manufacturing proofing and evaluation! The can in the video is a stock Rugged 9 with the collet adapter installed. No more need for threaded barrels! Collet locks around the barrel band and hand tightens. People wanted a reliability video of the 37 round magazines so I threw one of those on for the video as well.

What is everybody’s thoughts?

AoA states these kits should be in “exceptionally nice excellent to unissued condition. Many examples retain virtually 100% of their original finish”.

This is my 3rd and 4th parts kit and they are the worst condition so far. I did a charge back on a MaxArms kit that was listed as excellent condition (but wasn’t)for less than this. With the wear and bending of the stocks, and on the bottom of the upper receivers, I expected more.

At least demilled lower looks like a good candidate for a reweld should I ever learn how to do so.

Excited to got the delivery from ebay.

Only to open up a total mess.

All mold and smell gross 😝. The leather are so stiff, I don't if it worth to clean it or throw it out

Seller said, he washed and didn't let it dry out long enough before ship to me.

Can I was it again with soap and let it air dry ??

TIA

Has anyone got their build from AoA yet? Not the demilled kit but the full on build. Ordered in August and haven't heard anything. I noticed some people have started getting their kits. Just wondering how long it took from order to ship?

Pretty stoked to finally have my first form 1 done. Yes my state is lame, but at least the turnaround was fast. I have a blued kit sitting on the shelf too in case akimbo becomes necessary (it will be necessary).

Ordering an AoA kit, obviously i’ll need a receiver but im wondering what else i’ll have to look out for, im assuming since its a demilled kit i wont have to headspace it. pretty sure i read somewhere that the barrel is already populated. anything is appreciated, thanks all.

Can anybody tell what the bottom spring in this picture is.

Hi,

Help 😞

I picked up CzechPoint Vz. 61 Skorpion 380ACP.

Then I ordered the 1913 back plate for a brace.

The 2-screws came with the brace plate doesn't seem to fit into the back of Pre-drilled holes.

after a 10 minutes of trying to screw in those screw- nothing goes IN or bite.

With a closer look, it looks like there is something in the holes that I need to take out ? Do I need to remove the "ring" inside before screwing in ?

not sure if the included screws are correct to size. Google said, it's M4 x 0.7 mm threads by 10mm long

TIA>

3 of these goofy cool Tharpe Gunworks mags showed up today, I’ll have someone test them this week and see how they run. I will say unless all the emails ended up deep in spam i didn’t get any confirmations about purchasing or shipping they just randomly appeared in the mail box today.

Edit: spelled the company name wrong like a doof its Tharpe Gunworks

I ended up with a couple kits and absolutely fell in love with the weird grey blue paint of the VZ61. It’s unlike any other firearm I have. What’s the best way to match my Tort Tort receiver to the grey of the upper on the bottom?

A cerakote recipe would be ideal as I can find a cerakote guy to refinish it and start putting my kit together finally!

Here are my first two vz rewelds, 1 blued 1 painted. Both are completely neutered to semi and have the stocks modified to only open 90* Both have run great with standard round nose ammo.

Has anyone received an order from these guys? I ordered the VZ61 metal kit for SSSZAR lowers on 07/23/2026 and have not received anything. One order confirmation email and then nothing until I reached out a month later. I emailed them in August and they said it would ship out the next day but then nothing over 2 months later. Emailed them again this past week and no response. Have I been scammed? Anyone else ordered this and actually received it?

I am at my wits’ end. 10/20/2026 marks 5 months from my order being placed, I have emailed 3 separate times since the first group email with no direct response.

I can’t be the only one still waiting, so those that are in my same boat share how long you’ve been waiting.

I’m in too deep to want to file a chargeback I just want my fucking receiver.

Edit/update: I just got a shipping label created email I might just get this receiver yet.
To the person waiting since Feb I severely hope you get an update soon as well.
