The next step was to cut out a slot for the bolt handle. I setup the tube in the mill and roughly marked out where the slot will be.

|
|
After a few passes I had a rough slot for the Bolt Handle.
|
 |
|
After a bit of fitting with the Bolt in this is how it turned out.
|
 |
|
Quick test fit with the bolt installed. Bolt unlocked and open.
|
 |
|
Bolt in the closed and locked position.

I cleaned up a Receiver tube a bit, its still not perfect but it will work for the prototype.
|
 |
|
I cut and milled this piece for the bottom of the receiver tube. This will give the bottom frame its attachment point.
|
 |
|
Next I drill and tapped the piece with two 2/56" bolts to temporarily hold it to the receiver tube while I solder the two pieces together.
|
 |
| I got a little sloppy and went a little over board with the Alumaloy on this side. It's a mess right now but I should be able to clean everything up with the dremal. |
 |
|
This side came out much better and won't need as much clean up. To be continued......
|
 |
|
Next I layed out and drilled/reamed the locking pin hole.
