Again, thank you everyone!!!

So I did get quite a bit done.

I finished the muzzle. And since I did, I couldn't use the giant pliers I had been using to take the barrel on and off. So at that point I also needed barrel blocks.







Made a front sight from the peice of barrel that was also used for the locking bolt housing.







I soldered the front sight on and went to setting the barreled frame up for machining. I used a cutter from the horizontal mill to shape the sight radius. Then used another, identical cutter, that I ground to 60 degrees to cut my striations.

This is the sight after the initial radius cut.



And cutting striations.




I also stepped the front sight. The sight is REALLY tall yet until I get the rear on and get height reference and some rounds through...

Also, I'm at 80 lines per inch on the striations. Let's just say, the plan was 40!! Had a friend stop and distract me in the middle of a knee adjustment... And then it was 80. I'm going to machine the rear sight to match the 80.

If you see there's some minor cutting on the top strap in the front. That is gonna clean up when I machine for the rear sight.









Next is rear sight, and the cylinder!!!!
