Not as nice as some of the guys on the board but for my first three I have ever done I'm happy.The one that tapers in the center is my favorite. I still have some touch ups and they were bolt bodies that someone else had filedon but couldn't see throwing them out.A real good friend of mine let me use his tig welder he did one and i welded the others. Well I hope these pictures make it

That would be me different.I guess it's all in preference a couple of my buddies looked them over and liked that one as well maybe cause it's different it takes on a three deminational effect when it's actually on the gun.Unfortunitally the one in the middle was already buggered where some one tried their hand at forgeing and fileing but the bolt face was to nice to throw out.

Thanks Don, I have a new respect for hand files.I was going to have someone weld them from the board but unfortunitaly could not afford it. I had access to a tig welder so why not I used heat paste and a heat sink.But shaping with a file well lets just say I would rather be raking leaves.All an all i'm pleased thanks again K----
