Thanks !!!

This was a fun project. Ampoyet is my best friend, and he lives close by, so we got to work on this together...

I don't want to hijack the thread, but this project has a few unique features...

1) the front sight was made from scratch to co-witness with the red dot. Ampoyet was set on this, so we had to find a way to made it and I learned a lot...

2) This is the first time I do serrations on the scallop...I was concerned how they would look/work...but I must say that Ampoyets' idea works great...

3) The slanted frame makes it look great...again Ampoyet's idea...we tried it first on another 5906 project...but it IMHO it gives the pistol a cleaner look..

I took very few pics of this project since Ampoyet was taking a ton of them...I hope he publishes more...

here, some pics I took of the finished project...
