Anyone recomend the lazer cut flats?

recomend you stay away from them.  The extra thickness of the metal causes lots of fitting probs (triger and hammer pins too short etc.).  None of the indents are done.  I also hear welding the rails causes alot of warping.  but maybe you are a better welder than the person who said that.  In any case I think it is a neat idea.  just not thought out enough in this application.  Also Its almost the same price as a Nodak.  Definitely a nobrainer.

I would try one but that is after having built several using a jig and 100% receivers.  The very first attempts we made at bending a flat before I got the jig we tried doing something similar but never got one to work.  But that was because of the fact we used a Dremel and our lines were not very straight.

I'm with steve on this one. I built one on one of these, they are way more trouble than they're worth. I did it just as an experiment, I usually use flats.
