Good Photo study of welded receiver

[Calif-Steve]

I thought this a study of a welded receiver. I call 'em 'rewelds" but a rose by any other name. Oh, well. It is a beater and not worth $550.00 with a decent receiver. Let the buyer beware. And do understand someone is taking the beater home.

This Winfield... That's just the point about welded-repaired receivers. I recall a local gun store buying a lot of "rewelds" back in the 60's and you could not even open the action by hand. So... how were you supposed to LOAD one? Now, there ARE some nice ones, and I've never heard of one blowing up.... but Bill is right. BTW my welded IHC has a correct IHC front leg. I think it was one that was cut but not severed all the way through, then restored. One last comment; if they really want an "AR" ban to pass I don't think they will include an 8-shot rifle. But who knows? My friend in New Zealand has some M-1's on their "MSSA" military semiauto permits and some that are "sporters." The difference: If you grind off the bayonet lug and own only 5 shot clips, it's a "sporter." For some semis like FN-49s they fit Monte Carlo Comb stocks, etc. to make them less useful to criminals. We may be playing all kinds of games. Or we might just not play at all. Go figure!
