  You need to go back and put a flat top piston and valve in it, Man it sure makes a big differnce!

Nice work.  Really like the looks of the aluminum hammer.  Any thoughts on the performance of it compared to the stainless one and a stocker?

I have just finished completely refinishing one of Archer's Industry Brand sights.  It was brand new but very corroded and nasty finish.  It is now a nice combination of polish and powder coat.

Silence is golden. Duct Tape is silver. Gravy is brown.

I now have a very fine bead (.067") on a muzzle brake.  Hard shot to take and can't show too much of the Gauntlet project gun, but the fuzzy clearing in the photo is the notch opening of the rear sight.  Much better looking at arm's length with eyeballs instead of several inches away with a camera, but hopefully you get the idea.


I also made and polished the very first completed set of ambidextrous black solid resin grips that will have their coming out party tomorrow evening ;)

That sight looks excellent. Archer should get them to clean it up before shipping to the US.

Great job on the sight.  Fact is, they should all come from the factory in that condition.

Looks good Davio, it's like the opposite of mine. I didn't like the silver screw that Archer included so I cut a bit off the original black screw and used that one, looks better I think.

Hate cold blue with a burning passion? Try rust blueing...time consuming...but easy to do. Finish cannot be rubbed off with 0000 steel wool.

AND...the finished piece doesn't stink. :)

Great job on that and as Ed stated, we could all benefit from a link describing the process and chemicals needed.
