    And this is as far as I've gotten. Next step is metal finishing, testing, adjusting, and parkerizing.

    Misadventures in Amature Gunsmithery: C3A1 edition

    Made the mag box from scratch using photos. Also fabricated the front portion of the bottom metal that secures the receiver front. The real fun was trying to make a follower from scratch. I'm using a spring from another magazine that I will secure to the follower with a rivet once parkerizing...

    Misadventures in Amature Gunsmithery: C3A1 edition

    Got my barrel back from PacNor and proceeded to thread/chamber. Worked out some pillars and completed the bedding. Even the pillars were a pain in the ass. I had to keep in mind that the rear pillar does not contact the receiver directly because the rear portion of the trigger is between them...

    Misadventures in Amature Gunsmithery: C3A1 edition

    Trued up the top and bottom of the receiver, milled in the slot for the scope base, including the dovetails near the front of the receiver. Opened up the mag well. That geometry is a royal bitch! Trued up the threads and face of the receiver, best I could. You can appreciate how off...

    While working through each challenge and researching any information I could find, it became apparent that some of these receivers may not have been heat treated sufficiently. I could tell from working on the bolt that it certainly did not have the appropriate hardness. I connected with a local...

    Misadventures in Amature Gunsmithery: C3A1 edition

    After what seems like a year or more I was able to locate a bolt! It took a while to find the correct bolt. Apparently one of the lugs is longer, which is different than your standard mauser-style. This is when my excitement turned to major cluster fuckage. This bolt was not finished at the...

    Misadventures in Amature Gunsmithery: C3A1 edition

    A while back I got the bug to build a C3A1 clone from one of the PH M84 single shot receivers floating around out there. Well, that's when the search for parts started to get real interesting. At this point, all I had was the receiver in the condition you see above. After many months, I was...
