- Once that was done,I folded the top edges to fit into the top of the grip. After test fitting in the grip I cut a piece of MDF and glued it in-between the bottom of the two sides of the mount

- Next step is to cut out this template for the grip mount and fold up and clean the edges

Re: My E11 Blaster Build.WIP
More pics of the trigger group as progress is made and a comparison pic of a casting from Oota and the one I made with bought grip added. Note the difference in the guard position. It appears that this was common on some Sterlings. If I rotate the guard on the housing, it seems to match the position on Oota's casting from an original.
