HK Builds 2

Looks like HKParts is selling a flat bending jig for HK-pattern rifles.  It'd be pretty neat to put an HK91 clone together, but I'd have to learn how to TIG/MIG weld first.  A hydraulic press is necessary for affixing the trunnion to the barrel, and for some jigs, forming the flat.  So one needs either a well-equipped shop, a friend with said shop, or a build party in the vicinity.

I also came across a pictorial guide to bending a flat and building a CETME.  Way cool.

The jig shown in a link on my earlier build post was cooler than either of the above, though.
