Darren,
The unpainted version has a spare plastic foresight blade on it which I placed to see if I was going to use the bowl part on the finished version. The finished "G" is absolutely as the PAM stipulates, foldable and blade as spec.
I am currently machining the large knurled knobs to place beneath the telescopes because the normal brackets that hold the telescope to the side of the weapon are a horrendous piece to carve or make, unless I was incarcerated on Devils Island for years of course.
I sat scratching my head at the task ahead of me on the venturi opening lever, and then saw my spade hanging on the pound shop double hook in the workshop, which when cut in half and bent to shape did the job and even had the rib running down the centre.
Just got a friendly tailor to make me a canvas laced boot for tyhe venturis as per PAM and now laced up and fitted.
More pics tomorrow as I get closer to DDAY!
