The next machining operation has been completed on the trunnion. This is one of the many unexpected problems with reverse engineering a component. The magazine did not fit. An error occurred that was missed. It is a good thing to check after every step which we do.
You can see the differences here and it is quite obvious. New measurements were taken and the trunnion was re-machined. These are the first two corrected trunnions that have been completed through operation 5.
In this picture you can see that the dimensions are a great deal closer. The thickness on the front of the magazine well are due to the new models not having a bevel put in yet.
Only the rough cut is accomplished in operation 5 on the under side below the barrel. It will be finished in operation 7.

This is the fit and finish in an original trunnion.
our trunnion.
different angle of the same trunnion.
The first two with magazines in them. These are the minimum and maximum magazines that I own.
With the completion of operation 6 the magazine will set lower. With any luck operation 6 will be this week, however the HAAS team will be here Thursday for routine maintenance.
