    Ahhhh, what was it again... I thought it was aluminium but I checked and I was working with freakin' plate steel. It was 26 gauge. It's hard to cut and it mostly melted/got very hot when I used the dremmel. But once I got it down in smaller squares it was really easy to bend and hammer into shape. Also when I polished it the edges didn't need alot of work to dull them so that was good.

     

    Im using 1/16" steel. I like using it over aluminum for 2 reasons, Steel is stronger and weldable and Aluminum gets really hot really quick. I burned the crap out of my fingers when I was making my front sight block (its made out of aluminum)

     

    26 guage? Thats like razor blade thin isn't? 1/64" When I cut that stuff I use metal shears.

    Yeah the metal work really slows you down. Ive got about 5 hours put into my magazine and housing, prolly another 5 in the stock. The little springy mechanizm under the buttcap took a couple hours to make it functional. Yeah, all in all, the metal work's a slow process. What kind of metal are you using?

    Today I installed a set of runriott's lenses. Grade 3 torch lens material. I trimmed them down with a pair of scissors and dipped them in boiling water. Then I pressed them into the eyes until they cooled so they would perfectly match the eye sockets. Then I glued them in place. You can see out and they can't see in...perfect. Now I'm just waiting to get a pair of speakers from SuperTrooper to install the electronics.
