I have a number of the sets avail straight out of the stamping die. These need to be trimmed which should take just a few mintes with a belt sander or metal cutting bandsaw. All parts are laser cut.

I have a number of grip housings in the white complete with the hole for ar safety and the hole for the original safety for sale for $99 each.

Hi Guys, just been extremly busy, I bought a new machining center and new turning center in hopes of freeing up some time but have taken on a couple of military contracts and free time is even harder to find. I am still making the grip housings and doing bolt conversions. I have aprox 40-45 qty of t...

all thats needed for instalation is to drill out the original spot welds that hold the cartridge stop and hopper end in place and replace the parts with the new ones provided. I will post a step by step pictorial next week

After quite a delay and two vendors for the laser cut parts I finaly have a QTY of 50 of the nicely formed 8mm conversions to allow the inexpensive 308 blet loaders to be converted to 8mm. These are the same high qaulity stampings the other member was selling last year right out of the same set of s...

TNW has a patent on this paticular method of semi conversion and I in no way plan to cross any moral, ethical or legal line by offering their design for sale. All the parts shown here were machined for my own personal use. I believe a couple of other members here offers semi bolt and component servi...

As for the 42 grip and bolt wise lite is using it looks kind of like the ones BRP make, as does the 34 conversion parts you are making look like the ones from TNW. Well since you brought it up the BRP grip is a welded up steel affair made from the original grip housing, alot more like the ones you ...

before anybody gets their undies in a twist my above comment is just my way of ribbing pirate about an old subject, nothing more. I think the the neat products he comes up with are just awesome , and he is a great freind of the home builder. Operating a machine shop and knowing what it cost to produ...

sounds like a good plan, lots of folks would like to keep their original grip frame. I do have to ask looking back thru your old post why the AR fcg? I thought that was pissing up a rope ?

You know thats been bugging the crap out of me, a little over a year and a half ago I met Tony and Eric (mgs) at knob creek and showed them my grip housing which Tony looked at quite intently. He stated thay liked it and could probably use it in an upcomming project. He asked for my business card. T...

forgot to mention, I also placed a chunk of aluminum in the ejection port to keep the pieces of rec scrap aligned and avoid to much weld building up in that area also. Copper would be a much better choice of filler material for the eport and bolt channel but the alum seemed to hold up very well.

in addition to filling the area on the outside mentioned in the first post on this thread you also need, or at least sholud, weld up the inside of the rec floor to prevent the insertion of an unmodified FA bolt

well I posted all these pics with the thought :( that I would be able to go back and edit/add text to each of these pictures at will so they would make more sense. Had I known the edit feature no longer existed i would have been a little more careful in giving descriptions of exactly what was going ...

hope some of this helps

this shot shows a completed semi auto rec and a bunch of scrap on a mandrell to help point out the area on the outside to be filled. The inside of the lower rec scrap has been filled with a large pool of weld just abof the large cross pin before it was slipped onto the jig http://www.thompsonmachine...

here is the area on the outside of the reciever that must be filled to prevent the introduction of a FA sear into the receiver. Its very important that this area and the one pointed out above be filled with weld before the rec scrap is rejoined to insure that at no point you have been in possesion o...
