Join Date: Location: Posts: Feb 2004 Pinch, West Virgina 2,716 I started by locating a solid bar of steel that was the same size as the upper part of the receiver. I welded the bar to the flat so I could put all of my weight into the bending and not have to worry about anything moving. I then welded a plate on the bar so I could put the rig in the vise. Here is after the first few attemps to bend. This was tough.... http://www.uzitalk.com/forums/showthread.php?31109-DEADLINE-s-semiauto-G3A3-build.

Weld in the barrel and trunion, the rear sight, and do the fire control mods, US parts, and I have got myself a G3a3. Looking at around $600 in this one.

What size was the round stock? How did the flat take the heat from welding? I ask because I have 2 to bend one for a MP5 the other a G3 like yours. I have 1 SW flat and 1 marked HK which is a little heaver then the SW with more defined punchings. The latter of the two will be for the MP5 build over the winter. Tried you trick of baking the cosmoline off an FAL kit I have, much easier the solvents good tip. May 2007 MD 1,769 Last edited by carryaglock; 11-10-2007 at 11:15 PM.

It's another world over here, back in "Home gunsmithing and Kit Building". The bar stock I used for the upper portion of the receiver is 3/4" round, solid steel bar. I had no problem with the welds. They didn't make holes, warp the steel or anything. The steel is very think, and tough to bend.

My 220 MIG was set on medium settings all over. I didn't wear my helmet when I did these welds because they were so small. Yes, for the most part I weld with my eyes closed, helmet off. Here's some close ups....remember, I have some cleaning up to do...so! http://www.uzitalk.com/forums/showthread.php?31109-DEADLINE-s-semiauto-G3A3-build.

My collapsible stock fitting and istallation was buy far the most uncoperative part of the receiver build. Reluctantly, I had to remove material from the arms of the stock in order to make the fit. Join Date: Location: Posts: Feb 2004 Pinch, West Virgina 2,716 The rails in the receiver do not accept the stock "out of the box", you will have to do some fitting. After removing material from the stock arms, with the bolt carrier installed inside the receiver for support, I used this 7/32" block and a hammer to widen the rails, to accept the stock. I might add that before this, and after I had to remove a good bit of material from the bolt as well. To say the least, it did not just "drop in". Also, I used my CETME receiver for reference, so I was not operating blind. Attached Images http://www.uzitalk.com/forums/showthread.php?31109-DEADLINE-s-semiauto-G3A3-build.

Your right it was easy once you get it bending, I had to keep wacking it with a rubber mallet to keep it square through the process though. A note for you, while it welded ok I did notice some shrinkage from the heat when I welded the sight base on, these are full tig welds at 50amps which is kinda low. I would say some heat trap paste or heatsink(if you can conform something to the shape for better contact)should work. I had to reheat the area and shape it out some. All in all it took about 3 hours including throwing it in the beading cabinet for a clean up. Thanks for the inspiration Deadline. Last edited by carryaglock; 11-11-2007 at 07:36 AM.
