     Bare in mind this is all built on a homemade jig. As I said in a previous post it's no more off than 0.02-0.03" I bought three, this was my first one (you see pictured) second one I got a little excited and forgot to properly center the dowel  Oh yeah...probably gonna want lithium or moly sulfide to butter it in  I have one more I can perfect this on. -rob |

I replied elsewhere to your thread but I will ask again here... How are you planning to bend your top rails? They need to be done before any trunions or lower rails! The lower rails are placed after the upper rails are done and the trunion is fitted. Then the lower rails are put in parallel to the rails built into the trunion using the top rail as a guide.... There is no template for the lower rail as it all depends on your trunion... |
ok in this picture you can see I added to the original jig design, incorporating a rail bender. The receiver you see was the very first one I did (after making mistakes with the first two), but even though it looks a tiny rough in the picture, it's to within 0.003" of spec. I am very pleased with the results. I am sure future flats will look exceptional.  -Rob |
