Step number 4..get that old long flat point common screw driver out and
start to prying putting more force leverage against the wood table. This will
keep from scaring the flat.
Look what a little prying does.

Step number 5.. now look for you channel lock pliers and find a dirty rag
and flex those muscles.
Now get that plastic hammer out and finish the bend. Tapping easy and
equally on both sides...like cross torquing.

My, my look what we got here!

Very little scaring if any if done with caution.
Looks good and a little fitting here and there, weld it up and your good to
go.
 Stay tuned to the next episode of the Shade Tree Gunsmith.

Nice looking receiver Nitegunner, and nice tutorial also. Just shows what
someone with determination and a little imagination can do.

nice job. how did the bolt sit in the inner rails after your bend was it level
or did it have a slight tilt from side to side. how would you rate the

Yeah man, thanks for posting this.

I saw a thread in another forum that was similar and I was going to copy it
for my bends, but I think I like your slightly different approach better.

Tommerr,

The welding is pretty simple once the two half's mate. First I placed the

Next pull the two haves of the lower receiver together and clamp them at
the upper part of the receiver and spot weld.

Go to the rear...clamp and spot weld. Check your bolt and carrier to see if
 they slide free toward toward the front stop.
If all okay finish your welds.

Just a reminder to people considering starting off with this build.

The order of the build would be best done as

Grip mod to semi-auto and throw out your FA parts not needed.
bend receiver
weld receiver
Admin Group weld in semi-auto shelf
THEN weld in your trunion and other parts.

Posts: 18474 I know the holes are not drilled yet in the receiver, so it will not accept any
FCG, but it's best if the shelf is welded in place as soon as possible after the
receiver has been welded up. This way nobody can claim your building a
machinegun receiver.

(also: throw out the FA FCG parts not needed... this is best done prior to
starting the bend.)

Got to keep the ATF happy...

You are correct Gary. I had already completed my FCG modifications. I

posted the weld because I'm a little ahead of the build and Tommerr wanted
to see it. Here is what FCG should go through to be modified. These
pictures were from another post. Be sure to throw the FA parts away. You
have no use for them.
