      A guy I know on another forum wanted something like this done on a concave buttplate. Can this be done pretty easily?

            it's really nice to see your work....thanks for sharing

            love the image through the microscope

            may i ask, what type of MSH/Magwell part are you using in the last few images? it looks very nice, reminds me a little of the Nighthawk part or perhaps a Mr. Chen part.

                thank you.....it looks terrific

                do you fit and contour the beavertail-grip safety by hand or do you have a machine to do this....it's beautifully done

                  First I machine the frame tang .220 or .250 radius and than hand blend the beavertail

                    thank you, that's so very nicely done.

                    wondering if you had any thoughts of suggestions for augmenting or improving the grip surface on 1911 slides that were milled for red dot sights...i find sometimes that they can be more than a bit challenging to manipulate/charge.
