I really want to see a "build thread" from the guy who suggested that. What a train wreck! I wonder how he did the mag well or if he had someone else do it? In that pic it looks pretty decently done.

Now, I'm sure there are guys that are capable of managing that with minimal to no tooling but they are few and far between (Yeah, Bob does come to mind for some reason. ) and really have to know what they are doing.
