I liked the comment on the spirit level; a little something for me to ponder..
I found a nice little [3"] aluminum one at Home Depot...

Got the front sight roughed out...more...It won't look exactly like a Luger front sight; no way I can do micro-machining like that...which is why I mounted my sight before machining...

So, I roughed it to shape, milled the sides at an angle, made a crude arc to the leading edge...I made the height the same as the rear sight leaf top...It's too tall, but I'll have to think a bit as to how high to make it...
