PE-57 receivers...100% or 80%....source? Or a current builder ??

[ptoguy2002]

I've seen them online, there was one on gunbroker not too long ago (here: http://www.gunbroker.com/item/618927075 ) . It went BIN pretty quickly, I kicked myself (again) for thinking too hard on it.
There was a CGN'er who built one a long while back too.
Who made (or makes) these receivers?
As far as builders, I've read about Mag Arms, and Honey Creek, neither of which I can find much online about.
Sent what I think is the Mag Arms guy an email to ask, but I' striking out...so am turning to the gunsmithing forum for help.
Help me calguns.....I want a PE57.
Apex has kits, barrels are....not too hard to find....where do I get a receiver?

I know a guy that had one built. He might be able to point you in the right direction. Ozarkbeararms@gmail.com

The receivers are like hens teeth, your best bet is to keep an eye open on gunbroker, AKfiles marketplace, etc.. And jump on the next one you see.

Supposedly mike from mag arms had a batch of them he was working on towards the end of last year that were supposed to be ready soon..He's slow to respond to emails but I can give you his phone number if you'd like.

Rumor also has it that the Swiss are not going to export any more of those, or any more of the 7.5x57, so grab a kit while you can, and start loading up on the ammo..

You can always do the .308 conversion too if ammo dries up.. Use FAL mags..

They're nice guns, I hope you get one built!
