    This is a welded receiver?

    If built, wouldn't this become a machine gun? "Once a MG, always a MG."

    This is a brand new Bula Defense Systems receiver that the heel is cut off right behind the rear sight and the USGI heel is welded it it's place. James River Armory has been doing this now for a couple of years. I built a complete Winchester a couple of years ago. Now the TRW and I have 3 more receivers being worked on right now adding H&R, SA and anther Winchester to complete my collection of grafted M-14 USGI heeled rifles.

    Not at all. Once the serial numbered rifles have been de-milled, the heels become scrap metal. The auto parts have been removed and are not used with these receivers and there is no connector assembly notch in the rail.
    These are semi only rifles.

    Definitely a "well-heeled" receiver!

    I have seen a bunch , in person, that look just fine. Take a high resolution photograph and some look like crap. Then if the photo is posted, many that don't know there head from their butt will jump in with all sorts of negative comments. Then torches and pitchforks generally follow with the looser brigade.
    This is only my second but I have 3 more in progress.
