Lowered and radiused the shelf . Cold forged random pattern on piece of mild steel to replace the sight plate. JB weld filled the holes.Pondered about the color , settled on hammered finish "gun metal" . more pics this weekend after the "lipstick and rouge"

Sure Felix, I enjoy refinishing them. PM me if you're serious...the sight plate idea is a forged "wizard face"..

Your really doin a great job there. Looks great.

Be careful Felix, when Chad calls in a favor it's never an easy one.

God Bless, Pierre

Very nice job. I like the color. Inquisitive. Why did you do away with the adjustable metal side plate?

OldSkoolArcher · « **Reply #15 on:** July 07, 2011, 05:07:00 PM »

WOW, I like the shelf idea!! VERY COOL.

Wanna sell it? HAHA.

kuch · « **Reply #16 on:** July 07, 2011, 07:06:00 PM »

Orion, I did away with the plate because it was easier to fit the forged replacement sight plate without it . I guess I could have ground down the sight plate at the bottom and still fit the the plate but figured leaving it closer to center shot is what I prefer anyways. That's why I "need" 3 or 4 more to play with ....

Thats cool Chad, Now I want one of those to play with also. Thanks!

Thanks guys, I need to get in the forge and play with the "wizard face" sight plates...maybe next week. Those Mags are just plain workhorses..
