kaydar6 0 Posted April 21, 2009 Report Share Posted April 21, 2009 Getting ready to do a conversion, got the Tromix weld in plate. Do i weld it in 90 degrees from the barrel? Or is it off set some??? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BobAsh 582 Posted April 21, 2009 Report Share Posted April 21, 2009 2 to 3 degrees inward at the bottom of the receiver. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
kaydar6 0 Posted April 21, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 21, 2009 2 to 3 degrees inward at the bottom of the receiver. Another question is why the 2 to 3 degree angling downward of the buttstock??? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BobAsh 582 Posted April 21, 2009 Report Share Posted April 21, 2009 We found it looks better, more in line with the weapon. Don't take my word for it. Mock it up yourself and decide how you want it to look. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
kaydar6 0 Posted April 21, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 21, 2009 understood. my problem is my access to a tig welder ends in june. i won't have money for the folder and stock until after then. Was going to weld on the back plate and trigger guard As soon as possible, and possibly some HK sights. and finish with the install of the stock after my transfer this summer. I know my next unit will not endorse me working on firearms at work, like my current one tolerates. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BobAsh 582 Posted April 21, 2009 Report Share Posted April 21, 2009 Sure. Tony has a jig for the grinding, but if you just take off a little at the bottom you'll be OK. As I said, if you lay the thing out flat and eyeball the line, you'll see what I mean. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

kaydar6 0 Posted May 10, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 10, 2009 (edited) Thanks.... I went 90 from the bottom of the receiver. Tig'ed better than i thought it would. Filled in the holes while i was at it. Got excited while welding and forgot that when the tungsten is glowing white, that mean its hot and i need to pay more attention on not letting it hit my skin..... Also toying with the idea of welding on the DIY trigger guard. My access to a tig welder is for a limited time as i Transfer this summer and my next unit most likely won't have a tig welder.
