We deviated a little from the original gun. I’m not a fan of brazing or soldering front sights, so ours will be screwed on. In fact, the screw will go through the base and the band. Drilling the sight base hole:    -Lee www.singleactions.com“Building carpal tunnel one round at a time” |

Lee, Awesome work  I'm stuck in the office today waiting on sub contractors to pick up bid sheets, sooo I read through this thread from the start, and wow, I wish I had that skill. Very cool to see a custom come together. Keep up the great work!! Oh and I can relate about having to listen to your dad's taste in music, I work across the room from my old man and get sick of the head banging Harley rider music. Thank god for XM radio and outlaw country!! Nathan |

Thanks Nathan....glad you've enjoyed the thread and there's more to come. And just to clarify, my dad isn't into 80's music. It just happened to be on the radio that day. -Lee www.singleactions.com"Building carpal tunnel one round at a time" |
