    Gunsmithing 1911 Front sight staking options

    Which method do the gunsmiths on here prefer. brownells front sight staker (cheapest, but seems to be a PITA) Strobel (no experience but looks promising for the price) Trijicon tool. (expensive and in my experience just as time consuming as any other method)

    Gunsmithing small milling cut in 7075.

    Re: small milling cut in 7075. Its not a forged lower... Its a mega billet lower that a customer brought me. I can definatly blast the anodizing away, but if it can be blasted off that easy, how is it going to be so difficult to machine?
