I'm looking at maybe building one of the semi PPSH kits and I'm a little confused.

Does BATFE require the parts set to have a torch cut thru the trunion pivot hole?

Most of the kits I see advertised are cut thru the pivot hole which is gonna make for a difficult build if that section has to be repaired. I see that Prexis sells top receiver parts, but I don't see anyone selling trunions.

If the cut isn't required then is there a source for parts sets with the trunion hole intact?

Here's an example stolen from another site.

Weaponeer.net just did a group buy on parts kits with intact trunions so i know someone has them.

If you can't find one that you can purchase a trunion from Cold Steep Solutions http://coldsteelsolutionsincorporated.com/.

Thats all of my limited knowledge on the PPSH kits, hoped it helps you.

iris, that's good info. They sell trunions as well as the 80% receiver blank.

I emailed weaponeers to ask if he has parts sets for sale.

thx.

Thats what i get for stock piling kits and parts in preparation of getting our SOTII. I have a pile of builds/conversions scheduled to start 00:01 7/1

Keep in mind if you buy Cold Steel's 80% receiver for $140 you also need to buy the trunnion to install in it for another $50.

10-4. I got an email back from weaponeers and the parts sets he just finished selling in the group buy were PPSH48 kits and looked really good...day late and dollar short.

I'll keep looking for one of those with the trunny intact.

I think this is where weaponeer is getting the kits for the group buy http://www.luminet.net/~nartron/prod11.html Maybe he still has some. The group buy only saved about $13 so you didn't miss much.

PS I'm still waiting for mine through the group buy, about a month now. To long a wait to save 13 bucks.

Did you check out the site you linked? In the tab Whats New it says the BATFE had asked them to stop selling. Now they are selling. Maybe thats why you have not received your kit yet.

The Demil on the PPSH kits can be summed up as:

1. If you want to sell the kit with the receiver included you need to chop the trunion.

2. IF you request a waiver (which is what happened on the PPSH48) the trunion is not cut, but the rear receiver section is cut off and destroyed (not included)

I sold hundreds (600+) of PPSH48 of the last couple years, and now the supply has dried up. there will only be a few kits left after the group buy, and all future PPSH kits will have the cut trunions.

The group buy kits should start shipping late next week.

hey Lobo,
I put together a dummy reciever PPSh and it wasn't that bad getting the trunnion back together. A bit of copper rod and some simple machining and, VIOLA!

Yes the Nartron kits are the ones weaponeer was selling, and the ones I got were the best money I ever spent, they are really nice.

Glad to hear the group buy will be shipping next week. I'm sure the kit will be worth the wait.

I hope my 3rd kit is every bit as nice as the 2 kits from the previous Group Buy...wished I could have afforded a 4th kit.
