If you look back at the progress on the receiver you will see where I had to stop until the EDM was back in service. Since it is now operational I am making some progress as you can see below.

You can see the watertable has been wired out to accept the barrel lugs.

Here the trigger plate has also been wired to fit the receiver.

I was pretty happy with the precision of the fit of the trigger plate in the receiver. There was no filing done to facilitate the fit.

The top tang is made separate from the receiver to help in machining. This is as it comes out of the wire cutter.

This shows the fit in the receiver. I am pretty happy with that as well.

This is just a side shot of the same configuration.

I'll send more pictures as I make progress. Thank you for following my ups and downs.
