Jul 25, 2021 · New to forum, so thanks for all future help! I'll need it. Did a few Saiga shotgun conversions way back, so somewhat familiar the AK basics. Decided to get a kit, and the only decent priced one seemed to be the Yugo M64. Probably for reasons! I seem to have all the receiver pieces included...

Jul 3, 2010 · One thing first off. Early Yugo parts are marked with a part #. Many parts on an m64 are marked with a 4-digit number (many begin with a “3”). Milled m70’s lack these numbers except for the grenade sight and pistol grip. Stamped m70’s only have a numbered pistol grip. I use this system to identify early-made parts. 1. Receiver types

Nov 6, 2023 · 1. m64 - reciever 2. Shoulder Screw / Nut 3. Bolt Hold Open Lever 4. Retaining Rivet ( above trigger axis pin ) 5. M64 Magazine, or Modified M70 magazine. This BHO lever / feature is only for the YUGO m64. OR more Accurately called the M70A It will not work in any other receiver. You will have one of two receivers. 1. Re-Welded Original 2.

Mar 2, 2014 · Building a m64 kit on a US receiver requires a m70 barrel. At that point it's just not authentic enough for me to be considered a m64. Might as well be considered a m70. As other members have stated, the fixed stock m64s are not common. I came across 2 factory yugo wood stocks so I built 2 underfolder kits into fixed stock rifles.

Apr 19, 2010 · I bought one of the earlier Yugo M64's from Apex a couple of years ago. I wanted to go the reweld route, but the muzzle swallowed the bullet, and I had a problem sinking that much money into a rifle that was well past it's prime. I wanted to build it to like new, so I purchased a virgin M70 barrel, and a press and pin M64 receiver from ORF.

May 23, 2021 · I bought a M64 yugo parts kit from Apex a while back which came with approximately 2/3 of a fixed stock receiver. I'm hoping to find a saw cut or more complete torch cut fixed stock receiver and have a reweld done on it to complete the build, but I'm not having much luck and it doesn't look like there have been many available for quite a while.

May 16, 2024 · The milled Yugo metal is a test to weld. Very difficult stuff to work with. Pinholes appear out of nowhere and the metal sometimes just defies flowing where you want it to go. I have done a few now and have yet to be able to get the welded area and parent metal to take cold blue the way I really want it.

Dec 9, 2010 · These Yugo M64 kits were available for four days only at this price!! These are the first model AK47 Yugoslavia produced and feature the unique pattern of milled receiver only found on the M64. The milled receiver versions of the AK47 were first produced in the 1950's and are generally considered to be the finest of the Kalashnikov's.

Aug 9, 2008 · I believe M64 is the earlier model milled Yugo, sort of like type 2 whereas the M70 is like their type 3. The rear stub is supposed to have a different stock attachment, but many of the kits that came in shipped with regular M70 rear stubs. They are also supposed to lack the lightening cuts on the receiver if I recall correctly.
