I just got a new ACE blank in the mail yesterday. I did some measuring on it and found that it is about 10.5" long. They used to leave them long so you could trim them to length. AK receivers are around 10.235"(260mm). However, the front of the receiver from top to bottem on the inside is supposed to be around 1.200". This one is 1.150".
Does the 1.200" sound right to everyone? I got that diminsion from SilverDollar(7.62x39). I made a block that is 1.25 x 1.20" for my last build and every thing worked out well. I wonder if the 1.150 will be OK. I am sure that ACE mass produces these things and if mine is like this, then many others are probably also.
Should I worry about this? I know I can get a little anal about little details like this. I plan on going ahead and starting on it and seeing how the trunion fits in and go from there.
What do you think?
