Fitting the bolt is a time consuming task. Be prepared to spend several
hours getting it to fit properly. The bolt channel will have to be polished out
smooth. Some areas can be done with the Dremel, but most will have to be
smoothed out with a file. Pay close attention to the welded areas, specially
the corners, a buildup of weld the thickness of a hair will bind the bolt. A
piece of wood with a 1" sander belt is handy to have to do the final
polishing.
Once the bolt fits properly you are ready to move onto the semi mods
