Thanks Rob. It is such a fine, light gun that shoulders/points beautifully. I really hope to put this project behind me now and just enjoy it for a while. There are 2, fine, hairline cracks in the forearm, one just that...one open by about 1/64" at one end. Strength doesn't seem to be an issue, but I'm not interested in a refinishing job at the moment. lol
Good job!
Taking one's time with a job like this is seldom a bad idea.
Speed will come with experience. As will the confidence to tackle such without worry, in the future.
I think that, should you need to, you could build a pin for your gun from scratch. Same skills.
Cheers

Did you try calling Browning down south of the border?
I find them folk with the yeee-awll drawl more pleasant and helpful than
up'ear.
Sorta like why I hate renovating in an older house, you never quite know what you will find when you lift something up and look under it, when someone has been there before you.
If you have a bench grinder, they work a treat for that kind of thing in combination with a variable speed hand held drill. Hold the part in the drill as you had, and you can feed it in on the front edge of the stone on the grinder. By varying the angles you can even get a pretty nice radius at the transition.
I used to salvage a lot of broken pin punches and modify them to punch out the stems on aircraft Cherry-Max blind rivets. Sorta like a pop rivet only way more expensive!
Cheers
