Luger snubnose project

For those of you who want to try, this little fixture helped a lot. I used it when I milled the dovetail and the taper in the back, and it also made it easy to get the sight post soldered on straight.

Cool fixture!!!

That would make it easy to spirit level the front sight base.

Exactly. One of the purposes of the fixture is to provide a straight and level surface to help me index the sight base correctly. I used my new Wixey digital angle finder ( http://www.woodcraft.com/Product/200...ge-wLevel.aspx ) for this, worked like a charm. I didn't even have to level the barrel, I just stuck the angle finder to the flat surface on the barrel, zeroed it and then moved it to the fixture. I might mount a steel plate to the fixture so the magnet will stick to it, that would make it even easier.
