Here's the scoop~ I decided to do it this way...the lid has a slight radius to it...so that meant the lid had to have some clearence...and in my ususal eclectic rifle building technique :stir: I re-did the lid from square to a radii and with a little design on the end~
i t will be further trimmed in the hinge area inside the 'box' so no snagging edges are left~
I used .05 brass....the .03 seemed a little flimsy, and i beat it and wrangled it, now it needs sanding one more time to feather metal to the wood.......... :grin:
