Slow going build, as I need outside machining and welding help. Just curious, with out Pirate's help how does Wise Lite expect someone to figure all this out on their own?

[Bil]

It is assumed that if you buy the receiver,you either already know how or will learn.The info is all here,but it is not all in one spot.The re-welds have all the right cut-outs and holes,just more welding.Wise-lite leaves the options for several differant style grips.It would be nice to have templates to use,though.It is still the nicest repro receiver I have seen yet,and I think the only one being made now in any quantity.And thank you,Pirate,for all the tutorials-it does make it easier! ---bil

[Pirate]

The wise lite rear is a simple build, easier than doing a reweld. the only part you need to cut out is the grip hole and you can use the grip for that. it is better and more precise than a template.

Yeah, but does it run? lol

[Bil]

That looks real nice! you must be getting so you could do one in your sleep!Although each one seems to be more refined than the last. ---bil

[sdk1968]

yeah he's pretty good. LOL

thats my understatement of the month.


Bil,

he could have finished sooner but he was too busy answering my dumb questions... then i snuck out to the garage and finished mine before he got home one day. MLOL

I took it out to test yesterday and really screwed up. I went to the range with 8mm ammo and feed setup and a .308 bbl. I am sure it will run, it has my latest grip & bolt mods in it.

Of course it will run, I was just bustin' baws.

Just like that scene in "The Survivors" "Uh, Jack, time out, okay? I brought the wrong ammo."

its a good thing to tease Pirate every now and then!!

keeps him motivated.

[artech]

I have a dumb question; what all is holding the cam piece in place? On the originals there are raised tabs or ribs or whatever keeping it from moving around, I don't see any on this build. Or did I miss it? (jeez, I read the tutorial twice!?!) If so, just point me in the right direction please.

Thanks,
artech

[Bil]

I know I saw it once,he welded the small 'hump' on and smoothed it.I'll bet the picture got left out when he re-did the tutorial a while ago. ---bil

Has anyone actually used the WLA grip w/AR15 FCG with the receiver? I would like to see how the front of the grip is attached to the receiver. Pirate's tutorial states no material is needs to be removed from the recuperator.

[Pirate]

You don't need to remove material from the recuperator on the Wise Lite grip , it sits flush with the outside of the receiver. the FAL grip fits inside and is a little wider than the standard fa grip.

[csbuceo]

I guess I am not getting it the WLA grip has 2 notches cut on the front. What keeps the front in place then. And it look like I need to cut out add'l material for the hammer to strike the Firing Pin.

[sdk1968]

bub i dont have the WLA grip, from what ive seen it hooks inside of the receiver on the front section and the back still goes thru with the pin.

[csbuceo]

That's what I was thinking except that one of the notches is not big enough for both the receiver and recup.
