Something like the pictures above are extremely possible to fit perfectly in and restoration of and old mp44 GBB from SHOEI Japan, they use stamping tools to make it like the original parts, sadly they don’t make these anymore, so maybe some here can help me.

Germany was world leader and pioneer in stamping industry… but at the same time spending too much resources and money on overly complicated state of the art weapons,
while the other side had a (statistically correct) thinking “100 of our ppsh give better results then 10 stgs44″.

Keep it up! I still think that a Yoderroll rotary press is the best way to make a sheet metal rifle or machine gun receiver.
