Hand milling my 08 PMR

[hill160881]

I have always wanted to mill a marker by hand. Why you might ask? Because I can, and the 08 PMR is a confused marker with all its nike shoe tourney look and the sight rail on the back trying to look millsim. So off to the files, and very rarley the dremal to fix mistake. A few hours into it and here is how it is going. I did a quick sand and polish to see the areas that need work. I got rid of the sight rail and started to shape the area around the feed neck. I also have exaggerated the milling by cutting the lines deeper. Symmetry is the hardest thing when doing things like this by hand.

The red arrows are where the work was done, and in some areas its just making the milling deeper.
