Are you going to graft in the original mag well?
LoL. That's my plan. I've never done something like that before but I'm going to give it a shot, I mean what could possibly go wrong? 😂

The push pin hole will be welded closed before the magwell goes anywhere close to the flat!

Almost there. This is a ton of work! I know the fit doesn't look that great. The receiver is sprung outwards about .030, I need to clamp it in the vice to tack it. The fit is a lot better then :)

Well, is it perfect? No but I'm happy. Not a whole lot of clean up on the inside is going to be required. I want it to be obvious that I welded the magwell on. ;)

The finished product. well, almost. I test fired it. I'ts a little finicky. I think I need to sloppy up the mag fit a little. The mag fits tight up into the magwell. I still don't know if I want to weld the rail on the top. I think I'm going to paint it burnt bronze. What do you guys think about a rail and burnt bronze with black furniture?

I think it will look awesome!
