I grabbed some flat bar and put this together the other night from the plans on Pookie's PDF file. I haven't made the other parts that go inside the receiver yet to flatten the rivets, but I'll do that when I get closer to actually using it.

Make sure you harden the holes. The first one I made pushed the rivet head towards the inside of the jig and messed up the holes on the jig. I flipped it over and milled new holes and then used a torch to heat and quenched in water. I have used it a couple of times and it still needs a little fine tuning.

Looks great stickerman. What kind of machinery did you use to cut it and build it?

I wonder if using cold rolled steel would keep from having to heat treat that.... I ordered some material today to do that and to make some flat bending jigs.

I've got a 1 1/2 hp milling machine that I made that on. It sure is nice to have the tools to make all of the jigs for putting these rifles together. I may wait to finish my first build until the middle of next month though

FYI my website's back up... that's where the PDF came from. Still updating things, and will update more once I get my garage unpacked!
