Default Boys receivers.

Had a friend do so milling on the cast receivers. This week will assembly all the moving parts, it's been machined to almost take an original bolt. Will post some more pics up at the end of the week.

Very nice Kevin.

Notable that here in Canada, if it was able to shoot there would be no problem in making one as long as you had a firearms license. However, if you made it just for display as a non shooting firearm, it would be a prohibited device. Make sense?

As for the weight, just pretend the mag is fully loaded.

Looks good though.
