Donors:(Image removed from quote.)Disassembly(Image removed from quote.)(Image removed from quote.)Fitting:(Image removed from quote.)(Image removed from quote.)(Image removed from quote.)After alot of taps:(Image removed from quote.)(Image removed from quote.)(Image removed from quote.)My backside peens are a bit larger than the front ones. But at least they're consistent on each side.I will probably polish them off somewhere during the week. For now, I'm just glad I was able to finish it on a single afternoon. Any thoughts on my peening so far are greatly appreciated. Bear in mind this was my first full mod
I peened the first halves while the rods were in a vise. I test fitted them in the front scale every now and then. I left about about a mm for the backside but went more by feeling than measurements
Insulation tape for the win!
Nicely peened! Also how is this still not a vic product!?

Are the pins you used nickel silver or solid brass? Is that a hand drill in the second photo? How did you find removing the stock pins without a drill press?
Oh, I can also mention that all tools snap open and closed, and there is zero sideways play in any of the tools.
