I hope I have not been using too much bandwidth with my recent posts.
The Millett dual-crimp repair has been discussed here several times in the past.
I thought some of you might like to see how I deal with the situation.
This job was done for another 'smith that needed a 'patridge' style cross-dovetailed front sight to which he could add a 'gold bead'.
The slide is a Colt Stainless Steel Delta Elite 10mm.
As I received it:
Pocket machined into the area.
Using a corner radiusing end-mill on the 'dutchman'.
Fluxed and ready for silver-solder.
All cleaned up.
New sight in place.
