Cool milling, I definately like it.

I think an ebolt would complete it though.

Like you thought though, I don't like the drop

Nice Milling indeed. good job.

Cheers guys, as for an ebolt it would be great only they are like gold dust in the UK and go for lotsa money when they do appear so just went with the WAS e-grip which aint bad and I may LPK it to make it a bit more like an ebolt but dont plan to for a while, if ever. But been thinking for the drop I may mist on a black layer of paint then go at it with a wire brush on a die grinder to create a distressed look between black/green/bare metal to match the dragged through a bush look of the rest of the gun? But the drop is needed just due to the long tendancies of 98's (been an inline design and all) so any suggestions would be highly welcome. But thanks very much for the comments so far

What did you use to cut out out around the vertical adapter?

yah that'd be awesome. i'm not really sure what a vertical mill is, so if you have a picture of that, that'd be great.

Unfortunately the pictures I thought I had are missing??? So ill describe, they are kinda like a normal drill press/pillar drill (whichever you like to call it) except a drill press can only work on one axis (up/down) a vertical mill can work on 3 (up/down, left/right, forward/backwards) so not only can you drill a hole you can then move the piece to the left and create a slot, if you move left and forward at the same time you get a diagonal slot.

The type I have appears just like a very fancy drill press (and in essence is just about is) but I can also move the piece around to create the slots etc (just like when you are trying to bodge a hole bigger and press against the side of a drill bit and it goes bigger only the mill bits are designed to cut sideways as well).

You can get kinda cheap ones (as I said they are a glorified drill press lol) or you can spend 1000's upon 1000's and there are types where the piece moves around the bit, or the bigger and costly ones make the entire drill bit move around the piece. But the simple ones when doing simple things are just as easy as a drill press to use, just take small slices off at a time and measure many many times and cut a few times only taking a bit off coz you can never get it back on :-) .

Every knowledgeable wikipedia has a pretty good write up of them if ya fancy a read, they can be pretty extraordinary machines and can do all they fancy smooth milling work on the bodies of some guns, and I shall retrieve them pictures to show you the method of how I did mine once I can find the darn things :-)

Hope this explains (lacking pictures) what you wanted to know and that it wasnt overly boring. Cheers for the interest
