Yeah, the strip does look a bit thick, I'll be making it smaller.
And yes, I will be fine tuning the sight and the hole. I'll take some more photos of them to get your input. These are also just rough starts on the parts.
I hope to work done soon, but one of my sisters is getting married this week, so I probably won't get much done. Hopefully Friday will bring more updates.
And thanks for all the pointers Tino! They are really appreciated.
