I bought a raw forging from Stag Arms a While back. I think for about $15.00.

In answer to ray-vin. I am maching out the mag well now. I am using your book. You have rendered a great service. Your mill is much better than mine. I have a Smithy 3 in 1, but with the book it is getting the job done.

You better buy a bunch.......
www.anchorharvey.com They make uppers/lowers/charging handles etc. The Sales Manger is a wimp. QA is a joke, but they are dirt cheap. |

A wimp? Please, no! What do you mean their QA is a joke? The stuff they sell to civvies doesn't (likely does not) go through the same QC as military contract stuff. Understandable. I have no problem with them. Bought a hundred a couple years ago, so I am speaking from some experience. What are the problems you speak of? I DO want to know. |

Chuck D, Thanks for the kind words. I hope your lower turns out just great!  Have you cut the trigger/safety cavity yet? I learned from Frank White (CompassLakeEngineering) that the width of the opening where the take-down tab fits into the lower should be as tight as possible. This greatly reduces rattle between the receivers similar to what an accu-wedge does. Regards, Ray |

What type of mill do you use ray-vin? Any of you guys use a cnc mill or just do all of it manually?

Nope, I am using a manual mill with DRO.
Ray-vin's book is one of those books that is more than the sum of its contents. It is a step by step description of how to tackle a complex machining problem. Not too many gun enthusiasts have a machinist's background with blueprint reading experience. I am using Ray-vin's approach to machining a 1911 barstock receiver. Still havent' finished one, but if I do I would write up a step-by-step approach like his. |
