A 1800 Meter Luger !

The round over cutter I thought was pretty clever idea. Guess just gotta find the right size or have it ground.

The cutter that I had dreamed of is similar to a wheel cutter like for the extractor cut in a pre64 Winchester 70 or similar to a fluting wheel for barrels. Pretty efficient cutter but expensive for the layman with only a few to do. No prework with a straight.....pretty durable too.

I am a little envious of pistol teams on the line, not seen that here locally for many years.

I added a machining operation for 1911 triggers in post # 5 on page 1, if anyone is interested. It took me a week, and I had pics of the finished jig, so I decided to throw it in here.

Rick,
that is a great deal of work and a fine, even amazing jig.

I'm not sure the end result(a slot in the trigger) is worth it.

It's not the destination that is satisfying; it is the journey.
