Runastav:  I think you should have cut the rectangular holes about 1/4" further up the plate - closer to the top plate.  The way it is now, you will have a lot of standing breech above the plain of the barrels.

Appears with the heights as made, the tang will be very thin, if reduced to just barely above the height of the barrels.
I guess we'll see what happens later.

The barrels appear to be too low because he does not have the rib extension installed yet. I'll betcha the height will be correct after it's on.

 If you visualize how the tang will be you can see that eveything is just right. He has this  figured out exactly.

We will just have to wait for the next installment to find out.

Hi all and thank you!
Ok, here is how I do it ;)When bending the tang, I use aluminium in visejaws and tight hard and pound with hewy hammer just over the radius and it works

I like your idea of using a hole filler when drilling an outline, neat, very good.

I noticed that as well, what a simple solution to a problem, never thought of that before!  Definitely will get some use from that trick.

Does that keep the current hole from "collapsing" into the previous hole?

You are doing a great job. I just saw my tangs out with a jewelers saw.  Good idea on the drill hole stop.
