    What to cover when painting the receiver?

    I taped off the feeding ramp and the ejector, should I also tape off the front trunnion? Guessing not but doesn’t hurt to ask.

    Alternative to parkerizing?

    What’s out there to finish the receiver with besides parkerizing? I heard gunkote is good, and Brownells aluma Hyde works good too. I’m not really worried about it being as durable as parkerizing, I’m not going to war with it. I really like the look of this grey: https://imgur.com/a/Z064FnP

    Top cover gap question?

    I know it’s supposed to be between .005 and .015, but how loose should the .015 be able to move around in it? It moves but has some pressure, and my gap even takes my 0.35 in if I push on it hard. Seems like my bolt moves down and allows the bigger gauge to go in

    Grip safety question

    Firing pin catch?

    I’ve noticed almost every build on YouTube has one installed, they’re sold out on McKay. McKay also says they’re optional for the build, so what exactly do they do extra? Here’s the part I’m taking about https://www.mckay-ent.com/uzi/uzi-bolt-firing-pin-catch-spring.html

    Anyone know where I can get pop up night sights for my Galil?

    Well I’d need the rear night sight spring, plunger, and and the pin that keeps it all in place. Apparently numrich doesn’t ship kits with these items. Thank you very much for spending time to help!
