VZ61 Skorpion Parts Kit Build on a New Receiver

In this video, I build a VZ61 Skorpion from a parts kit, a Southern Tactical receiver, and a barrel and some small parts from Czechpoint USA. I ran into a few issues with this build, but I eventually got it done. There are some jams that I still need to troubleshoot as well. This was ST's first run of these receivers, and from my understanding they had some issues with them that were worked out with the later ones, so it makes sense why I had a difficult time on what should have been a fairly straightforward build.

This isn't an instructional video, it's a build video - and I'm not a gunsmith, just a hobbyist. I hadn't built a VZ61 before this one, and I make some mistakes, but that's part of the process. Sorry in advance for some of the bad audio clips, including me breathing heavily into the mic, I didn't realize it when I filmed this a year or so ago, my bad.

Please be nice in the comments, if you're mean to me I'll try to roast you and nobody wants that
