Greetings, I'm new here, just dropped in for a quick question I thought some of you guys might have knowledge of. I just completed my first HK91 paddle mag release install. It went as well as any I've seen on the net so far, but I still feel it could have been done better.
I'm building another 91 from a flat and would like to try a variation. Specifically I'd like to install a custom bushing on each side of the well. One bushing would be a seat, and the other would be partially drilled at 1/8 then have a stepped larger diameter tapped for a set screw. The idea being you could drop the paddle with its straight bushing in place, then install the 1/8 dowell pin from one side and install a set screw inline with the pin to hold it there.
Now to do this I need to put a 1/4 inch hole through both sides of the well, wrap my custom S/A shelf around the well, install a pin for alignment and then TIG the two bushings in place. Will this put me on the wrong side of the law because I have a receiver that (temporarily) had two through holes where the F/A receiver pin was designed to go? The receiver will not have a barrell or trunnion installed until after the paddle mag work is done.
I'm thinking since I have no FA FCG's and there will be no barrel or trunnion installed I'm OK, but anyone feel differently could give me an idea why?
TIA
