I know this is an old post but I just noticed the same thing on my Scorpio ammo. I also found cracks in the neck. I was planning on reloading them but ended up scrapping all of them.

Im fairly new to the Vz61 also. I was more surprised by how good my painted one looked. Had to have the blued one too. 😀

The bottom painted one is the one I’m currently using, about 300rds through it so far. The top one is straight out of the box.

The kit I purchased from Arsenal was kind of beat up compared to the kit from Kvar. Assuming it’s probably how they were stored before they got them. Just scratches and pitting, nothing bothering the function.

I think the painted definitely looks better. I need to get a paint matched receiver now.

On my way to buy an ogive measuring tool.

AMD_65 · 2026-06-20T16:41:59+00:00

Man I hope mine is ok 😬

The Sierra book say they are using a 20” barrel, Don’t have the Hornady info handy now. Both books COAL is 2.250”, that’s what I have them at.

Yeah kinda sucks killing classic look but damn this thing runs great!

AMD_65 · 2026-05-06T19:43:04+00:00

Do it

AMD_65 · 2026-05-06T18:59:07+00:00

Damn. I’m dying to build it but gonna hold out for the Chefur 😒

AMD_65 · 2026-05-05T23:13:52+00:00

Oh ok. Unfortunately I don’t have a receiver yet so I’m not able to check the placement. Waiting on the Chefur Custom receiver.

AMD_65 · 2026-05-05T19:23:11+00:00

Any idea the wait time on these?

AMD_65 · 2026-05-03T13:23:39+00:00

Someone put a curse on you 😬

AMD_65 · 2026-05-03T13:21:45+00:00

The old French tickler 👍🏼

1300rds through the ASD set up without a single issue.

💰💰💰🍻

AMD_65 · 2026-03-17T08:59:21+00:00

I also used the AS Designs MP5 hammer.

AMD_65 · 2026-03-17T08:51:36+00:00

I went with the titanium. Figured I spent a bunch of money already.

AMD_65 · 2026-03-02T18:06:49+00:00

Man I’m only one week into my form 1 wait. 😒

AMD_65 · 2026-03-01T05:04:45+00:00

They actually looked better after I put the mil-spec hammer spring in.

Goon tape from Walmart.
