I am going to try the build thing. Where can I find some blueprints so I can make a bend die for the flats?
Thanks, new builder

welcome

i always tell people to start off there first build with a 100% rec
that being said i dont know of a place with prints to a jig
but there was someone renting 1 out not to long ago
you can also buy the jig bend your flats and resale it :)

Thanks, Does anyone know where I can download the receiver print?  Also a diagram of the trigger group. Why is  the male part of  the receiver flat dies made from 3 pieces? It seems to me that it could be one piece unless there is something I am missing.  Thanks for all the help.

If you build it it will shoot.

You need to be able to pull it out of the receiver after it is bent,  With the dimples it would not be possible if the die was a single piece.

I was thinking there would be enough flex to get the male die out after bending. But I will make the three piece just to be safe. Thanks

Thanks, Looks like a 3 piece receiver. The bottom is 1/8" thick. If I were using a flat .040" thick would I use the outside dimensions or the inside dimensions of this print?  I know the sides would be the same but the bottom section is 1/8" thick. I believe it would be better to keep the inside dimensions. 1.7 -.125= 1.575  The 1.575 dimension on the end is what I think I should go by. Does this make sense or am I thinking to much?
