I'd like to find out how much experience you guys have in bending flats into acceptable receivers.
I have built half a dozen AK's using Hesse or Vulcan receivers and am happy with the results. I am toying with the idea of buying one of 555th's or DPH Arms' bending jigs and using it to bend some flats. My objective is to build a receiver that I can use for fixed stocks, underfolders and sidefolders.
I'd like your advice about what flats are best, what to look out for, how to use the jig properly and any tweaking you discovered. Oh yeah, how much time does it take to build your first receiver --- how much does it take to build the second?
I asked a lot of questions but know that your answers are always valuable.
