Eric,
The action was originally nickel plated and I left it that way. The front sight has a small orange fiber optic bead in it so that it will show up in any light. I thank you for the nice comments. The book idea is something that I briefly considered but it would take too much time. I'm covered up with work as it is and I don't need another project right now. Maybe when I retire, if ever, I will consider your book idea.
I once had a customer who wanted to know if we would take photos of the whole process from beginning to end. I told him it would cost him an extra $100.00 and we would only do it if the wife would take on the job. Long story short, she agreed and we did produce the pictures he wanted, but what a pain in the butt that was. She did all the picture taking and editing and sent all of them to him as they were produced.
If you can imagine having your wife looking over your shoulder while you are doing a critical cut or other process, then she sees me doing something that looks interesting so she stops me to take a picture or two, what a pain that was, and definitely not worth the extra $100.00! But she was proud to be "helping out", and because of that I have a whole series of pictures of all the processes that go into making one of these double conversions. So I guess it was worth it in the long run. Bob
