Mg53 CFS Kit First Build

Post by jroberts1968 »

Hi guys this is my first build on a MG platform. I looked through several builds and found one @

viewtopic.php?t=7831

In his build he spliced two sections from a new BRP front stamping in to existing front shroud. Now my cuts are a bit further forward close to the rear sight base. I am a well rounded welder so I feel comfortable welding. My question is would the barrel jacket door supports need to be replaced? I PM the OP on the build above but if experienced builders say this is a no go I will start the process of finishing out the new front shroud.

I am using all BRP current production build parts.

Also I do have a working WISELITE semi and a Cobb Hill Post Dealer to pull from. The Wiselite receiver is a bit longer then the Cobb Hill receiver.

Thank in advance

Jim

Here are some pics of the kit and the cut after clean up.
