    Nice work ICAN. I have been watching those episodes to and it makes me want a DD rifle.

    I don't know if I have any tips per say. I just go slow, and think about what I am going to do before I do it. Worrying a lot seems to help me.

    Nice skill you've got there!
    OK, I will try and get some pics up today. For those of you do not have access to the tools required, in the Assembly of an upper. I will post pics later today of how you can accomplish this modification on your complete upper.

    Nice work!
    My thoughts *exactly*.

    On a different note, the DD torture tests didn't sell me on the rifles nearly as much as they sold me on Aimpoint.

    OK guys as promised here is the mod done while the upper is still assembled. Same process just more prep work. Now I actually have a feel for how it will work. I found my eye drawn into focus much faster. No regrets here and cant say it took more than 20 min start to finish.

    I have to use a flat bastard file to square this on up as I could not get it flat with him I had to hold the upper.

    Just starting the lines

    50% depth, re apply the dykum

    Finished with paint.

    Although nice work... I've never found my FSBs to be too glarey or shiney. Sometimes the ears get too shiney, but I just hit them with flat black from a rattle can.

    That is one of the most impressive things I've seen in a while. That's a service people would pay you for.
