A quick warning about welded steel receivers

[LzChase]

Got a steel G3 or MP5? that's great! but please check your welds before you start fiddling around with the charging handle! My PSG1 had a small, very sharp spike created in the seam near the charging handle, luckily nothing happened, but I can see such spike cutting someone up pretty badly the way your hand slides along the receiver when locking the handle back. Be safe people!

 

A small file and some bluing was all it took to fix the problem.

No before and after photos?

Yeah That would've been better but at the time I thought "I should post a warning so people don't go cutting up their hands" I had already filed it down.
