A good friend of mine and let me borrow an offset (gooseneck) bending die and a v-notch 90 degree die from him. I immediately went to the press and tried it out on the RPK receiver blanks that I purchased from another poster (on another board). I really liked everything about the blanks, except that the corners weren't bent sharp enough to suit me. These dies fit inside the pre-formed blank perfectly and and with the help of my press, I know have sharp corners.
The dies would work much better when starting out on a flat from Joeken or Tapco.
