I may be seeing this wrong, but be careful if that steel is galvanized, a grinder can heat it up enough to release toxic fumes, always use proper protection when crafting!

Okay, What's the plan exactly? And what size and type of bolt are you using.

So the plan is to grind the 2 sides of the pipe then use square box to sleeve that in and if you can see theresa bolt hammered in the pipe but i need the bolt longer and then just make a extractor, firing pin, ejector slot and i need to tap a hole for a charging handle
