I've employed Kutter's protocols, more or less, and they work.

I like gold for front sight faces/beads as it retains a soft luster without fear of tarnishing, which I find to be ideal for use in general hunting/target shooting conditions. My main source of gold for these jobs has been my old wedding band - finally a good use for that symbol of a gross mistake!!

With advice from SKB and Kutter, on this forum, I made this front sight. I cut the steel blade to the rough dimensions, then added brass using a brazing rod and torch. Finally, I worked it down to final dimensions and polishing. I'm happy with how it turned out, and I greatly appreciate the advice from SKB and Kutter! (This is my first time posting a photograph on the forum, so fingers crossed it works as correctly.)

(I just tried another approach to posting the photo. Hopefully it works this time)

The photo didn't make it to the forum, earlyriser. Please email it to someone here and maybe we can post it for you.

I just tried a different method of posting the photo. I used the imgbb website. I think it worked this time.
