I have had this kit for a while and the barrel and receiver flat have become available again, so while waiting for those to be delivered I started getting the parts in order.
First I cut the cocking lever housing from the front receiver piece.......I will have to do some more to it before welding it back on to the new receiver. Next, I cut, dremeled/chiseled the barrel trunion from the front receiver piece. There were 6 spot welds that were left behind that had to be ground down. Then I polished the trunnion.
Tomorrow night I will remove (cut) the rear site base from the rear receiver piece.......
Cocking lever housing after being cut off.....
Peeling back the sheet metal receiver part...........
Removing the sheet metal receiver part.........
Spot welds being ground.............
Spot welds removed...........
Trunnion polished and ready to go..............
Ready to cut the rear sight base off..........
