Semi Auto Bren Tutorial 5
Te cut on the top of the retracting handle slot was not to bad, so I made
some copper backers and filled in the area with weld. Then ground the
weld with stones in a dremel tool. The bottom cut will be repaired with a
filler section from another receiver.

The bottom area on the left side was machined out to accept a filler
from another receiver. The cuts need to be cleaned up with a file to fit the
filler.
After removing this section from the jig I tested the fit of the lower and
bolt carrier. Both fit smoothly with no fitting.

The extra kit arrived today, as you can see the receiver is really not
rebuildable. I will be using it for filler sections as well as the front gas tube
section to replace the cut one. The parts were de greased then blasted to
prepare them for use.
