Post by viper29 »

Does anyone know where I can find a Rail alignment & Rivet fixture. Maybe some new rails, rivets? :?

robert has some new rails w/rivets as a kit check out: http://www.robertrtg.com/mg.html. The rivet fixtures, contact pirate he has some pretty cool pieces to hold the rivets on the inside of the reciever. The rails should align themselves once you have the receiver straight. Check out Pirate's build in the stickies section.

There is also an outfit here selling a rail alignment tool,one end goes in the barrel,the rails are held by the other end.I also have just the rivets,I offer a 100% discount to members here that make any sort of donation to the site. ---bil

We still need a picture of the Ordnance Solutions new jig,I would suggest they post a new ad with info and pic,and we will refrain from comment! :? I have one of the old jigs,very well made.As for the rivets,just send me your shipping info in a PM,and I will send the rivets.Then just look near the bottom of the main page here,there is a place marked 'Donations',click for details.I don't care how much you donate.Some of you guys that have gotten rivets are a little 'slow' in this department!! :lol: ---bil
