Well this was a pretty cool thread... smirk

My thoughts on the tang bending...it worked...myself being a machinist type would like to see a jig employed and I will at some point especially for my 92 and 90/06 tangs since I have multiples, however the 85 tang lends well to the method employed and JD and Steve are correct the screw hole is not affected.

I also should note we are working on Steves internet manners! grin he is very opinionated and it comes across the wrong way sometimes but his commitment to the custom gunmaking trade is very real and sincere!

The workshop was a great success Steve did a awesome job and it was a huge benefit to me.
