Left side of the recv'r (upsidedown) in engraving vise.
Shows some engraving done and the simple basic pencil line hand sketch I do prior to cutting with the chisel then adding the details.
The 2 parallel slots are for the rear aperture site base.
(The piece of wood is just to be able to hold the recv'r securely in the vise jaws. It has a couple quickly done cut-outs in it for the recv'r to seat squarely. Leather protects to opposite jaw/side)

The completed side (right side up!) from above pic. The aperture base in place with it's engraved adj knob in place.
The base is now also appropriately engraved.

BBl work to finish. The stock got a complete reworking to a more sporter look. Needs checkering yet.
The whole project got started just because the little beat up circa 1938 rifle has a really nice piece of walnut for a stock.
I was just going to refinish the wood, but my plans never seemed to be planned out at all.
Probably worth a $150 when all done !!.
Why? Can't gou see it?
This is the prettiest firearm I own.
Smith & Wesson PPK/S .380 ACP - Stainless Steel with Altamont Super Rosewood Grips.
Nope.
I think you didn't copy the image URL.
That's odd, because I can see it just fine, and I definitely copy/pasted the link.
*shrugs*
I'm going to post the link again below, see what happens.
