[QUOTE="EricL, post: 1091416, member: 90293"] Wow that really bites!!! I wonder if there is any way a guy could cut out the barrel threads and receiver lugs so the end of the receiver is about half as thick then thread it and build a sleeve that has new lugs and barrel threads on the inside and tight threads on the outside that match the new threads inside the receiver. Then add lots of red locktite and thread the insert into the end of the receiver very tight and reach in with a end mill and cut out the new lug ways so they match the old still existing ones now sitting right behind them... It would be a VERY long shot and require extensive testing to be sure it was safe afterwards but if a guy were doing the work himself and the time was free it would prove to be an interesting experiment at the very least!
