Looks cool to me. How much do you have invested in it?

The furniture matches your floor (or window sill?) nicely.

Looks good.

100$ for the kit ands the tapco FCG
75$for the reciever
20$ for the taps bits and screws.
14-20 for the clips.
so under 200 for the gun.
plus some spary paint, and red loctite

Have you tried bending your own recievers from flats? I have been thinking about doing that or building the AR reciever from an 80% forging. If you are interested, I would go in on a AK reciever bending jig with you.

i bent some flats with a jig a browed from a dude on another site
they did not turn out exact enough for me to want to use them, mostly because the jig was not made well.
but with a good jig i would be willing to build another one

Yeah, I don't know much about the jigs, I have just read about them a few times. I am going to keep reading and looking and see what kind are supposed to be the best. I know for sure that I want to build one from scratch. I will keep you up to date.
