I am not going to duplicate some of the stuff that beaker put in his build, soo without further delay...
I built mine using a receiver weld kit from D and D sales. Boris and i welded the kit together.
I started by attaching the forward hand guard and using that as a guide to weld on the posts
Pretty terrible welds, but i wanted to raise the weld up so i could grind it flush, mostly because i cannot do anything the easy way lol
Added on the trigger group lug
A pic of the blocking bar that made me hate my life, we had to enlarge the weld holes to get good weld penetration but it is in there now.
Finally all ground down and painted
Another view, that brass piece is what i used as a spacer, as the pin hole is 9mm and using the SMG lower i needed to step it down to 8mm
A look at my fire control group, you can see the only shiny part is the blocking bar to keep the gun from being switched into full auto, thus keeping me from going to federal pound me in the ass prison. also not all receivers require you to change to a semi auto trigger group
And finally the completed product
I have more to add, a few things i learned along the way, and a few mistakes i made, but i have company and will come back on tomorrow to add.
Edit: The things i learned along the way
It is far easier and cheaper if you plan on just building one kit to buy it complete with a 16 inch barrel and receiver. I spent way more than i had to but i also got enough parts to build 2 guns. I want to have a IMI lower on one, which that will have the police style stock and a German one that will eventually go on this receiver.
Building your own receiver makes it very easy to be 922r compliant, however check with the receiver manufacturer to see if you need a semi auto sear. You may need it for the gun to function, not just for 922r.
Know what size pin hole your receiver has if you plan on using a SMG lower. there are companies that make a bushing you can install, but finding out you need it when you want to fire the gun in a few days is a killer.
I wish i took pictures of it but installing the wood stock permanently is pretty easy, i did mine using by making the quick release button inoperable and hammering on the stock bracket. It is never coming off. If you want to be able to push the button still, you can also drill out the alignment stud on the stock bracket and use the original folding stock hardware. My bracket was slightly damaged and i opted for the first route. I just hope it never needs to come off, because i would probably have to cut the bracket.
I am more than happy to answer any questions.
