The top rails still need a little work but that will be easy....

Wow, how did you manage that? I got one too and I found it impossible to get anywhere near that. I would up heating it up and beating it back into a flat to hang on the wall. I guess I could put it through my flat bender but why, the metal is so stressed what you'd wind up with would be half assed. Doesn't look like you used any heat. So how'd ya do it?

My homemade top rail bending tool:

fine hacksaw blade, saw a straight line 1/8" deep on the head of a bolt. Go deeper on different sides so you have more options to fit the particular bent rail you need to straighten.

Redneck? Maybe, but it works very well.

Good job! I'm trying to think of a reason why I would want to do that.

how did you get the center support out without damaging the receiver?

I will have to try this...thanks

On the reverse side the center support was exposed I used dremel to cut it and it fell out. Then I could tap out the remaining pieces from the sides.

after the center support was out, I peeled the folded in side until it was 90 degrees I used some large screwdrivers and a backing sheet a metal. I then pressed it all over in small incriments in the press to flaten things out and then I ran it through the AK builder flat bender. It worked out pretty well.

seriously think of how much I could get done if I didn't spend half the time drinking
