[QUOTE="glowworm, post: 2898558, member: 38537"] So I forgot to take "before" pics, but if you go back to the first page, you should be able to get the idea. I used the beavertail jig to get my roughly where I needed to be. Still a LOT of fitting left to go, but at least the beavertail "fits". In addition to grinding down the frame, I also had to grind the beavertail to fit in the frame. It's in, but I can't get the safety in just yet, so it is just mocked up. The beavertail is a lot more work, and there isn't as much room to work. Sandpaper is helping a bit. I don't have a complete set of files, so I'm making do with what I have. All the parts and jigs are from Ed Brown. This isn't a cheap project by any means, but it's fun, and I'm learning...so...who cares?[ATTACH=full]58803[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]58804[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]58805[/ATTACH] :) [/QUOTE]
