I thought about them, but I hate shade-tree welders.

I bought one of these. The metal used it THICK, twice as thick as a stock 1MM receiver. That's why they claim that no tempering is nessesary. I still plan to temper the rails and mounting holes when I use this receiver to make a Romy kit. It should make for a SOLID receiver that's for sure.

I had to do a lot of exyensive grinding on the upper rails to allow for trunion fittment. Other than that, everything has been straight forward so far. I plan on welding the bolt rails in place and using rivets, but I don't know if regular rivets are long enough. Good luck.

Why are fold by hand so much more than the ones you have to press?
