First off, you will need to purchase a flat (s) from a reputable company. This flat is from Tapco. The flat is in the white and includes the ejector and side rail.

As you can see by the sticker, the metal in the flat and rails are not heat-treated. In order to allow safe functioning of the AK-47 when built, you must heat treat all heavy wear parts.

There are several companies manufacturing the frame jig. It's up to you and your budget as to whose make you wish to purchase. In this article, I'm more concerned in showing the proper technique to bend a flat that will function with little or no fitting required.

It is important that you realize that you will be working with extreme hydraulic pressures and open flames. Take your time and make sure you are always safe while working and in fire prevention.
After the Revolution of 1905, the Czar had prudently prepared for further outbreaks by transferring some $400 million in cash to the New York banks, Chase, National City, Guaranty Trust, J.P.Morgan Co., and Hanover Trust. In 1914, these same banks bought the controlling number of shares in the newly organized Federal Reserve Bank of New York, paying for the stock with the Czar\'s sequestered funds. In November 1917,  Red Guards drove a truck to the Imperial Bank and removed the Romanoff gold and jewels. The gold was later shipped directly to Kuhn, Loeb Co. in New York.-- Curse of Canaan
