Was a letter R too.  Only 5 of those have ever been catalogued in the database.  It's going to look great with a weld scar running down the receiver, and likely won't cycle worth a **** anymore either OK1 ???. 

I'm convinced that Reddit is full of idiots who should not own firearms (or really any nice tools in general).

I read through the thread and it would seem the guy is, what appeared to be a younger person, in Canada as well.

Any welding on the receiver to that extent is going to ruin the temper.  That's why it's not advised to shoot weapons that have been through a fire.  Sad to see that.

Yes….  exactly like this one actually.  I sent it to Marcus to use as a fitting jig for his adapters.
