Folks, I am pleased to show a few pics of the left side slide lock and a 39-2 slide with a fixed "ring" bushing silver soldered into place. While the work seems rough on the bushing, it will be filled in and smoothed for a perfect finish. With both slide locks, the darker material made for a...

Folks, Attached is the revised rear sight wing drawing. I took the front edge transition point and lowered it a full 0.1000", and redrew the radius at the front and back edges of that line. It should look much more like the originals now...

Folks, I would like to again present some of BMCM's work, this time on the faux Mark 3 suppressor. The model of the suppressor being created will be sent to the ATF for evaluation, since it will also include a muzzle cap to be fitted in the recess. This will then duplicate the actual Mark 3...

Bill, We are narrowing things down to the front transition point. If that area is reduced in height and the edge leading to it become more curved, the look will be more similar to the originals...

Folks, Had an email exchange with the gent who is making the rear sight wings. He feels the top edge of the wings is not "round enough" to match the originals, so he is going to rework the top edges a bit, basically to increase some radiuses for a more "rounded" appearance... Please review the...
