Can It Be Fixed? Buffalowinter???

Can it be fixed?!

This is a transferable, former movie gun, posted on GB. Seller (No affiliation and don't know) has 2 broken receivers for sale. EA receivers are cast, anyone know good AL welder, or would JB Weld work!! There are/were some Class 2's that have repaired forged receivers in the past but they are getting fewer and fewer.

Back in the day, John Norrell in Little Rock bought drums of de-milled M1-16 receivers and picked through them. machined, and welded 2 parts to create a transferable and he welded a bunch of receivers.
His welded receivers are hard to tell without a x-ray. Stemple is reported to have done some welded receivers also.

Try BSD fabrication. Had him do some work and I think he does stuff like that.

Whoever does it must have a SOT 7 stamp

So what am I missing that makes this worth over 8K ??

It's a full auto lower.

It’s transferable and can easily be fixed. No SOT… it is straight up class III.

Essentially, you are buying a number and a stamp. And the carte Blanche to build it to any condition you want.

Bet that goes for $15k or more. Because fixing it is dirt cheap. And rebuilt M-16’s are spendy… $25k or more.

But yes, this can be fixed.
