You have to bend it yourself legally. Even though it is going on a dummy gun, it is considered "manufacturing a firearm" once the flat is bent.

You may be able to find someone to let you use their jig, and do it yourself with them.

As dumb as it sounds............you pulling the handle is legal, someone else doing it is something else.

There may be some dudes on ARFCOM that can help you, and look out for a "flat bending party"
