They accomplished the scallops by milling regular knobs just as you did, Rich. Same inappropriate knurling. The stainless guns I've had don't have knurling around the knobs' circumferences.

I mis-remembered...the front sight blade is not notched the way a 1900/06 would have been.

My main gripe is that the grip safety has the incorrect angle to wind up parallel to the rear grip strap. Note how the distance from the former to the latter is roughly equal along its length when the lever is at rest. When the lever is pressed, it bottoms out at the top but doesn't come hear as clost at the bottom. This presents a lump against the hand when gripping and firing it...which isn't as friendly as the one on, say, later 1911 beaver-tails.
