Re: Help with Build

[/quote]What are you using to drill your holes? if you are using a drill press try clamping the receiver down and drilling it with a center drill.

Re: Help with Build

sorry, my former post, wasn't helpful. get yourself some layout blue and a metal scribe. make your cuts on the inside of the line, use squares for all your layouts. did you measure each side of the receiver shells? one side or the other, maybe both-- may need some milling, be advised of your O.D. Y...

Re: Help with Build

So i cut the top out and roughly fit the top cover, cut it undersized so i can adjust as needed, the feed tray wont sit flat yet, gita file the area where its raised in the front all in all though not too shabby.
