A couple of alox minis, fresh off the workbench.

First.... Alox MAXIchamp! :climber:  Sorry guys, I ran outta backsprings!  :rofl:
 



Then I got serious & assembled a Minichamp ;)
 




Aaaand another one for good measure. ;)
(have to grind down the second ring loop on the bottom)

The flatblade has the ruler on the other side, it's not another file.



And the whole famn damily :)
 



On the orange minichamp, I brushed all of the tools with a scuff pad... Here's a couple before & afters.

Thanks, guys!

Haven't tackled the peening yet.  Had to get some sleep! (damn night shifts)  Just woke up... may try & do that before I head off to work again in a couple hours.

I'll post pics once they're peened.

On my last mod (A celidor Rambler + USB) I tried peening as cleanly as possible and I was REALLY happy with how they all came out.  I was actually BUMMED to cover them up with the scales!  So I'm hoping these two go just as well.  If they do then I should be in good shape.

All peened :)

They protrude out a little and there's a little blade play, but I was being super cautious being my first alox peen job.
