This here is a project log for a custom 98c I'm doing. It's ??? because the best part of it is a secret! I'd like to thank Hybrid Sniper for his contribution. Without it, this would just be another hacked up 98c! Day 1: Milling
You like? Soon to come is more sanding and painting. Anyone know how to strip the silver paint off? It feels laminated...
Day 3: Milling II Well here's the sight rail milling. I'm still not quite done, as it's still a bit rough. Thoughts?

I like that style of milling. You should mill the sharp edges on the sight rail. Sanding or steel wool will take off the paint. Or a paint stipping dremmel head. Also, I wish you could do something with the front sight. It just doesnt fit the gun anymore. |

Monk: I'll figure something out with the front sight. And thanks! Nathan: A dremel, hacksaw, and a LOT of filing. Edit: Seeing as to how the front site holds the hopper on, I'm gonn have to leave it as is... ------------- Evil Elvis: "Detrevni is definally like a hillbilly hippy from hell"

Looks good mang. Smooth work on the sectioned linkage arm area. Innovative rear site. Very excited to see how this turns out. Looks to be a great project.

man 'o man, enjoy those hand cramps from the file? it looks
awesome. i wish i had some extra dough so i could mill out another
custom. and just so you know, don't do the quick strip mod.. it
sucks and doesn't work out the way you want. But i cant wait for
the next update, keep us posted! EDIT: remove the side wings from the site rail. flatten them down so it goes even with the site rail width or just remove them down into the divet ------------- what? |

Trev, have you tried Drano on it? That may help get the silver off.
