Eubanks Gen 2 vs Global trades Pictorial

[DrugRunR]

I am not here to endorse buying from global trades or Joeken.. but just to show what the LATEST Eubanks Gen2 receivers look like compared to a Global trades/ArmoryUSA 1.0mm receiver.

The Eubanks (gen2) is the one on the bottom

Please notice in the picture, the Gen2 still has the stretched trigger axis holes. This is from the bending proccess and is do to using prepunched flats.
Joe informed me that they will be changing the dies so that this is punched (not machined like Global trades) after the receiver is bent.



The Gen2 still has the bending jig holes (aka drain holes) in the bottom. These are seen at the front and rear of the receiver
This will also be fixed on the next die change. Global trades has these, but they are in spots that get machined out.



Please note that the Gen2 is a Single hook trigger set up, just like the original receivers.
Also all the info on the Gen2 is on the bottom.



In the above picture you can see the Stepped Top rail.

GEN2 - they corrected the issue with the front lip

Global Trades


And the last thing

DIMPLES
The Gen2 is on the bottom.

Here is a picture of a REAL Russian AKM, made in Izhmash 1970


As you can see the dimple on the Gen2 is MUCH closer to the original Russian dimple then the GT1.0


Overall, The Gen 2 is a HUGE improvement over the Gen 1.
IMHO, it is a great receiver. As for heattreat issues, I got in 6 receivers in this order. All 6 of them are straight

Now, for those who don't like to deal with Joeken, don't worry...
Our buddy Scott @ www.dpharms.com is stocking them now.

Note 2: Dpharms is currently out of receivers do to high demand, he will get more in so keep checking the site

Thanks for the info DrugRunR. I make my own, but I may need this in the future. As always, fair, unbiased and straight to the point. If I ever do need one, I'll go with DPH.

Great review and pics. Thanks for taking the time to post.

Personally, Joeken will be the LAST company that I contribute the their bottom line. Global can fold up a soup can and it will get more consideration than anything form Joeken.

Its a shame isnt it?

Joeken who?

how about the ejector. how thick is the ejector compaired to the G.T. ?

hay I have a great idea , I will buy three of thies when and only when joeken comes through with his group buy I have been hanging on for over TWO YEARS!! when he sends the three kits I will buy three recievers. only fair rite .. they gave their word the buy would be "SOON" over a year ago. so it cant be much longer now.... oy

come on... don't get this thread off topic....
You make your own choice on if you want a Joeken product or not.
I don't care if you like Joeken or not, don't care if you got screwed by him or not... doesn't belong on this thread..... Start a new one...
This thread was just a pictorial on 2 receivers....
I didn't use a OOW because they are wrong for 7.62 builds cause the selector is in the wrong spot.

Ok I have to agree. sorry for misdirecting your thread.
so back on the comparison topic ... how thick is the ejector?? all the vulcans I used were a lot thinner than the global the global realy looks beefy to me in comparison..
thanks for a comparison I think PICS in a comparison are very important and your pics are plentifull and clear. thanks HB
