I have ordered and will be receiving a pre-bent receiver, parts kit and barrel for a G3 from my local FFL and have a few questions.
First, there will still be some welding required: for the trunnion, possibly a Pic rail (haven't decided) and from what I understand a self in the trigger group.
Considering a few routes: 1) rent TIG welding equipment, learn to weld, learn what I can from the internet and hope for the best. 2) find somebody local who is willing to show me how to do this (I don't own any welding supplies and don't know how to weld). 3) find somebody local who can do the build. 4) ship everything off somewhere to have it professionally built (least favorite option of these).
I know G3/CETME rifles are a little more complicated, so just thought it worth asking around first. I recently built a different kind of rifle, enjoyed the process, and am looking for more challenge. Is there anyone here who has experience with these, any pointers? Anything I need to know from a legal standpoint just so I stay on the right side of the law?
