The battery on my digi-cam pooped out while I was machining the front sight blade blank, so just imagine a small square of steel being milled & dovetailed...

And then pressed in the barrel dovetail...And then milling the sight assembly sides flat...



Front and rear sides milled flat...



Front sight squared off...



Milling the blade itself...Using a corner rounding end mill, just for S&G...



Front sight is roughed to shape; need to mount rear sight to determine blade height and finalize profile (it will be like the Finnish Luger profile...sorta)...



Hmmm...I'm running out of Allowed Images in my albums...I'll have to verbally describe what I'm doing from now on...)
