The parts I need to finish the Luger rear sight and the barrel front sight blade for the Nambu are not available (to me), so I need to make my own...

In the meantime, I decided to resurrect an old 9mm barrel blank that I tried to make into a 6" barrel some thirty years ago...That's it in the pic, third one down...I needed to re-cut the front sight band with the rotary indexing head before I took the head off the mill...Bottom of the four barrels is the finished re-profiled 6" barrel, ready to go...I copied Ithacaartist's custom 6" barrel...

Second pic is cutting the feed ramp on that barrel...It is already chambered and extractor notch cut...

I'll start on milling a front sight blade for the Nambu next...
