Ok i made the first cut got the cammin block on but ran out of dremmel discs so cant get the other side on yet. But based on thus point i started marking the receiver based on the srawings i got from gunbroker. To answer your question i dont have any prior machinists skills just kinda floating throu...

Very nice! Got any charging handle measurements?

This us what im working with, the receiver shells are scoth taped together for measuring and marking purposes

I made a nice jig for welding mine up. I used a block of steel that I machined to fit snug in the rails. Both ends of the block were bored to except a 1in rod on one end and the buffer spring in the other. The 1in rod extended to the front bushing and had a sleeve that fit snug between the rod and ...

Yea i knew all that i was planning on making a rough cutout for the gripstick and bolt blocker then welding the entire thing, ive read that fitting the charging handle prior to welding can be alot easier as well, i kean ive basically got eveerything i need just "hesitant" i dont wanna mess it up

Almost ready to start the build just got my receiver shells in the mail from global machine now waiting on the mg3 rear buffer section and the brp gripstick, anyone got suggestions on where to start i dont have immediate access to a welder so that will have to wait, but i wasnt sure if i should weld...

And i just got my receiver drawings in the mail today vane with alot of pictures of a fully assembled receiver from all angles very nice drawings with measurements on everything, now just waiting t...

I have an m53 top cover, feed tray and barrel all for 8mm, already got my .308 setuo so dont need this anymore, barrel is shootable but has seen alot of use. Asking $350 for the set

My 8mm barrel is very loose and moves freely should i be concerned? It will move i...

Im leaning towards cold steel but still not sure since alot of the stickies...

Anyone have a template for the mg42 blanks? BRP's preferably. Thanks

Thanks, ive actually been reading here for the better part of a year, and just recently made an account i have all the details i ned besides exact measurements for the grip stick slot, ejection slot, and top feed cover slot

So i got myself an M53 kit from Apex and i have about an inch of receiver left left after installing the camm block(trunnion) its all jagged as it should be and im unsure uf i should cut it square or not, so far my options for a receiver are what look to be somthing similar to brp stampings but they...
