Got the passenger side done today. Everything fits well so far. Even managed to get the mag release right, which seems like the toughest part of this work. A local welding and machining shop will loan the 1-3/16 16 tap to me for the buffer tube, so I don't have to buy an expensive tap I will likely use only twice. A while back I traded a Palmgren drill press vise for about 50-60 endmills, HSS bits, and miscellaneous parts. Good thing I did, because there were endmill sizes in there that I needed for this project (5/16 and 7/16). Next up is boring the buffer plane, drilling for detents, and starting the mag well and FC area. Still having fun. I've decided to have a SN engraved, along with other lettering on the driver's side.
