I used steel for certain parts that would see wear and stress; like the clip holder, the round pusher handle, the pusher guide(located on the back of the post) and the ammunition track. for the ammunition track I used a couple of the Chinese 10 round .308 stripper clips that I removed the ammunition tensioner out of and set in a furrow. the 30-06 rounds fit in the .308 clip.

and what piece of machinery wouldn't have a data plate :ROFLMAO:
