The last post on the bolt was when we completed the lathe work on it. This left us with a turned bolt with the firing pin hole drilled and bored. A fixture was designed to allow us to machine the bolt at the different angles and still keep everything aligned as it […] This post will go through the steps necessary to machine one of the lower receiver. I was going to do a video, but there was not much to see with the coolant on. If you remember the last post on the lower receiver we had finished welding it up and it looked like this. […] This post is a run down of all the work that has been performed on the VG1-5 upper receiver to date.
Here are a few pictures of the receiver as it stands today. With out the cocking handle. And with the cocking handle installed. All the uppers will have the […] This post deals with welding the rear upper housing together. We start with the finished pressing of the cap.
And mating it with the housing that we stamped earlier we end up with the final product. This is the video of that process. Here are a couple of close up pictures of […] We have been working on the VG1-5 at a steady pace to try and finish this project. This last week has been spent on the upper receiver.

Once set up the bolts were turned and we were off performing op 1 on the bolts. The first op turned the minor diameter of the […] The last two video’s showed spot welding and the first op machining for the VG1-5 lower receiver. With this video we are installing the magazine housing into the receiver. Once again there is a certain amount of hand fitting. A close up of the fixture. The batch ready for the next step. […] You have now seen the first series of spot welds necessary to put the strengthening plats in and putting then together. With this accomplished it is time to do the first machining op on the receiver. This operation cuts out the trigger opening and also the holes necessary to weld in the front barrel support. […] |
