Building these guns are pretty far past the ability of most gunsmiths so I doubt he would have been a lot of help anyways. Its probably going to be harder without a milling machine not not impossible. Do you have any calipers atleast? Have you looked at the diagrams I sent you a link to? Those diagrams should have almost every measurement you need.

And was messing with my machined ratchet plate from global machine and i dawned on me is the charging handle supposed to glide in the cut in the ratchet plate? It seems like it should, also how much room for for varience is there for measurements on the cutouts on all holes? Because the different prints i see say different things varring by a few thousands to an 8th of an inch so just curious as long as it all pits snug it sgould be good yes?
Trayce1911 wrote:Ok... guess mine was cut too small ill have to fix it later. I have trouple reading some of the prints from brp witch is why im using some measurements from multiple sources. It seems they are all fairly close just slightly smaller or largwr of an area removed i figured to go mostly on the smaller side so i can remove more if nessicarry

The BRP prints are in cad. There are two zeros, one for the x axis and one for the y axis. The rest of the measurements are the distance from the zero unless otherwise stated. That sounds like a good way to do it if your going to use both prints. Good luck!!!
