Very nice machining John. You've obviously spent a few years standing in front of a mill. Your know-how and finishes are impressive. Not too many home shops have dividing heads. Another good example of how tooling is frequently at least as important as the machine itself.
John, the sight ring that you machined has significantly different geometry than the one on the finished gun. Also the one you machined is obviously aluminum, which would have to be andodized or sprayed with a "Gun Kote" type product, as, to the best of my knowledge, aluminum cannot be parkerized.
I guess my question is, what material did you use to fabricate the one that ended up on the gun?
