Very nice!

very nice Yugo build.

One of these days someone will contour correctly and dress up a wheel in a surface grinder so lightning cuts can accurately be matched. wish i had the time and a surface grinder.

I know where a surface grinder is

I'm confused, what other lightening cuts would an M70 have that this one doesn't?

None. The rest of the receiver is flat.
Many of the kits were cut through that lightening cut though, and although it can be rebuilt it's not easy.
With a properly contoured wheel it would be simple, and quick to dress up the end that had been cut during de-mill after it's welded.

Here's one I rebuilt by hand with a dremel, and needle files:

Notice that although it's close it's not perfect.

Ah I see. That's why I was confused. I'm curious to see how mine was cut up, it shipped today so it'll be a couple of days.
BTW the only thing that I can see on that lightening cut is that the the taper out of it looks slightly longer in the back than in the front, and I really had to look for that.
