...Until you try to put the toggle axle pin in...It's pretty much a precise fit...
Part of the problem with 'spreading' the sides is that both sides want to spread at the same time whether you support them or not...I toyed with the idea of making a special mandrel to insert into the receiver, with a drilled & aligned hole for a 8.82mm rod that would enter the barrel...Then you could work on 'spreading' the sides one at a time...
I do have a brass receiver insert for my barrel swaps; in an emergency (which is doubtful in my future) I could drill it and insert a squib rod to make a shade-tree fixture...But that axle pin is the most oddball size ever designed; not Metric and not Yankee...Not Inch, not Letter size, not Number size...You'd have to make up a special pin (or use a spare axle pin) to test your alignment after every tweak...
...Or just box it up and send it to Gerry!!!
