Looks like fine work to me.The double dovetailed sights are good looking and a lot of work if you don't have a milling machine.

Thanks guys.
Bob, I bouhgt a couple end mills for my floor drill and cut these and all dovetails with them using a cross compound vise.
its WAY better on the hands than the usual process.

Good to see both of y'all on here.
Have a great day bro's.

Thank you bama.
As my Georgia peach bride would say Sho nuff, y'all.
That recent southern gal you posted is a sweet heart too.
Love them GRITS
With or without butter.
 Bro Roller , I don't think either of them have your triggers.
These are leftover builds and I don't think so but I will check my day book and see
Thanks guys for the compliment
Dave
