Attention New Members and those new registering!
We had a lot of problems with spammers and bot attacks with the stock measures provided by the software. The 7 for registration was a fix that we came up with on our own that has worked quite well. Yes it is a PIA for both you and administration to put you onto your chosen username.
If you come back on and your login does not work retry with your username without the 7.

Thanks for joining us from the administration.

I noticed some very small stress cracks in the trigger plate after banana bending to fit the stock~ so I toted it to a my trusted collision center to weld a small bead on each side...he did goodt!

then a few minutes on the dewalt sander, and then some filing~

then a hour or so of inletting~

almost there....needs tweeking on the curve, and now to start inletting the guts of the lock... :hmm:
then that tweeking of the geometry of both triggers working right....now where did tomtom go?...he's the expert on fitting set triggers!

castings often have imperfections - generally the flawed ones get recycled , as to the chores ahead of you - i can only say your a better man than me with a chisel
