Update on Rear sight tool

[Rustship]

Took the tool over to my cousins shop this morning, and he can fix. Walking around his shop he showed me one of his machines with an AR-15 lower receiver in it. Seems he is manufacturing lower receivers for an outfit called Black Rifle Company. These machines are amazing guys, he told me that after machine gets through, there is no finishing at all, other than having to coat the receiver with the black matte finish. He said this machine is fully automated. I just find that amazing. We both started at AT&T 36 years ago. He resigned after 10 years to continue his Machining Career on his own. I had reservations about it and stuck it out with the Phone Company. Now I drive a Ford F250 and he drives a brand new corvette, and has a 52 ft twin deisal Hatteras yacht at the Yacht Basin at Clear Lake. I took some pics with my cell phone, but they do not do this receiver justice. I'll be getting one of the low serial numbers of one of these receivers. His Production roll is just starting. There of course is no charge on my tool, Blood is thicker than water LOL.
