Very nice.

I'd give it a shot.

Someday someone may kill you with your own gun, but they should have to beat you to death with it because it is empty.

When you stamp thhe hole it is perfectly round.

When you drill the hole it could be off you could make the hole bigger if your bit wobbles. And if you use the wrong drill bit it may hurt
Or may have no feeling. Dont use KKs drill bits they crooked i hear. Crooked holes are not good for AKs because it may make the trunion crooked.
With a crooked trunion the barrel wont go in the trunion right as it is a press fit and the bolt wont go in either. You dont want the bolt going in crooked holes either.

Hah!  Not if they find out what you're making!  I found out that the military is one of the most afraid of weapons in the hands of citizens.

Any welding involved?  The big concern is quality of the weld and the heat you put into the metal.  If the metal is not treated properly it's asking for trouble.

From the looks of it the rails are already welded in. Still going to have to heat treat (harden) after drilling though.
