Not sure what happened to parts kit group . Any redirection will help this parts kit came in as shown BlUED and some areas with grease . Another project I would love to make happen of course legally.loved the way separate packaging’s came in . Now I want to make a receiver or squirted one but want to make sure it works semi automatic with if possible orginal trigger group and bolt . Any help or direction appreciated. Now the other idea if I’m allowed to use the bolt and front assembly I’ll make a custom lower with fcg group with reciever ( using something of a ar10 design with the ar style control group if possible ) . If there’s someone to suggest who has worked on semi conversion leave info plz thnx !

As the other commenter said weapons guild will be a good place to look.

That said these kits are going to be difficult to build. Unlike the 1909 where the bolt locks into a trunnion, the bolt on this one has two locking wedges that interface with the reciever, making the reciever pressure bearing like an FAL instead of an AR. Without any reciever stubs you are kinda SOL if you don't have some serious machining and heat treating capability.

Yup came across discussions /plans and it only comes with front stub but from what I saw from different discussions the receiver really wasn’t gonna be a problem even if it was pla plus or metal . The problem I’m seeing that most want it in semi need to turn it from it being open bolt to close and then for it to be striker fired along with complete new modding to fire control group with new cuts onto bolt which they basically solved for me . So Yes THANK YOU FOR HELPING wouldn’t have never saw the post or discussion ! ( so far someone already made a CAD file but was warned because installing those peices onto the dummy possibly still fire off a round or rounds ) most of the parts kit only came with front of stub but some people had other peices ages ago so when the parts kit came people already working on ideas since the 8th so a lot has been explained the problems you’ll face with or without machining . But they’ll offer it either ways THANKS again hope they DONT take down this group either

Wait, there’s no problem rebuilding this into semi using a 3d printer? Open boot aside, pressure bearing won’t be an issue?

I’d say no but assuming modify dude file to use front part of cut assembly then for one of use to beta test which I’ll be glad to do since a lot of people beat me to the project

Can you elaborate which ones are working on this project? I’m curious whether I should grab a kit myself

Two groups on Builders guild have alot of progress one group Who figuring out what to cut and what to modify on bolt or Fcg ( like striker fired so it will be a closed bolt ) search m1922/ or 26 there the same . You’ll see it on first page . One group already had a dude Show images of schematics on receiver then built A CAD file already on those blueprints . Which can be modified for a working strong receiver . Because for sure no one hardly has those missing receiver peices other then front part which is good enough. Hopefully the one figuring our for cuts onto bolt and trigger housing will offer services

So, grab a kit? I just want to display the kit, but have a dummy receiver hold it together, with the option to have all the parts at hand in case I ever wanted to build it.

Yeah basically which wouldn’t be bad . I mean it’s around 300$ for one I think apex has another one but with those tiny missing parts like firing pin or spring with tube to push piston or the pins
