that it did
At least it went to a loving home! *sniff*
Went ahead and re-did it my way .
I cut my first batch of handles from 7075 aluminum with intentions of finishing them one way. While in process I decided I wanted some of them to be plated - plating aluminum is not as easy as brass... the next batch I have underway are cut from brass. The triggers - you gonna cut them yourself, or spill the beans?I like that way of yours!
You pushing me towards making my own handle, but I had an idea to make it out off the brass, treat the part the way I had in my mind and then to chrome plate it.
By the way Dave, I've got an idea to improve the triggers you do. It will improve the performance at the time there will be minus one operation while milling.

6 one half dozen another... I have everything minus the needed acid to run my anodizing set up. I have everything to plate copper, nickel, and chrome in place and ready to use. So, I chose to try to plate the 7075 by zincating first, copper, then nickel plate... it has been a wicked pain in the arse, because 7075 is not like 6061 - so there has been a steep learning curve. I have no idea why I have been so hesitant to get the battery acid needed to run my anodizing set up... I have done a ton of anodizing...I'm a bit curious. What would be the easier process? Chrome plating brass or anodizing aluminum? I know quite a few DIYers that anodize aluminum, but can't think of anyone who chrome plates brass. I would think an anodized finish wouldn't be as durable.
Vladimir, regardless of what anyone says, you are alright
I should mention someone has asked me to cut a taller trigger for them - so this may be something that gets added to the inventory.
