DIY magwell replacement for the SKS D, M, Sporter, NR, 63, and 93 models

[monaderio]

I just bought an SKS NR/93 stock that was missing the magwell, recoil pad, and sling swivel. A magwell is nearly impossible to find, so I decided to make one.
Finally, a garage-built magwell replacement for the SKS D, M, Sporter, NR, 63, and 93 models has been completed.

Very nice!  Is this a one-off or did you take measurements to be able to build multiples (or share the plans) for others?  I'd imagine once you had the jig made up, cutting and welding the rest was pretty straightforward.  Did you spot weld the threaded tabs near the rear while they were assembled in the stock or was that lined up carefully and welded wholly outside?

The measurements came from my SKS M's original magwell.
I purchased the fabrication material from the McMaster store.
I bought a VEVOR 5" Manual Hand Plate Shear to cut the metal flat stock.
For brazing, I used an acetylene/oxygen torch.
A device I created for Magwell assembly and brazing is shown in picture #3.
Since I couldn't locate M4 oval slotted head screws, I switched them out for 8-32 oval slotted screws.
The following operations were part of that project:
Brazing, tapping, drilling, cutting, and a little grinding. Heat bluing is the last stage.

I completed three more today. I used stick welding this time.

Very nice, well done.
