    Sorry for the long time between posts. I have been super busy with homework I was supposed to do over my spring break. I have some time tonight so I'll post pictures of the latest design. I have one more tweak I need to make to it and they should be ready. Now to gather the necessary tools and we'll get busy. I hope you guys are all still interested.

    Thanks,
    Matt

    Alright guys I am having the final revision cut today. I will have to wait until I get my tax return to purchase the rest of the tools and make the first purchase of parts. But here is the good news. I would like a couple of people to take them for a test drive and let me know how they like them and if there is anything they would change. I would offer the first 5 people the sight blade of their choice for $10 shipped just for product development. The catch is, it will be a couple of weeks before I get them out. So if you can wait that long and are interested, shoot me a PM. I will post pictures of the final blade shape as soon as I can.

    Thanks,
    Matt

    Sorry for the long delay fellas. Unfortunately all of my time is being consumed by my school final projects. I have finals next week and then I should get some time to make them up. I have all of the profiles cut out, I just need to make the barrels, attach, and clean them up. Don't give up yet, I will come through once things settle down.

    Thanks for your patience,
    Matt

    Alright fellas, I just ordered the tap and drills. I'll order some screws tomorrow so when I do finally get some time to breathe, I'll get some made up. It will still be a couple of weeks before I have any final products. Please bear with me.

    Thanks,
    Matt

    Sorry if I mislead anyone. These guys have helped me from the start and I will get them done as soon as school calms down.

    Thanks,

    School is first and I completely understand how that can take all your time. Don't worry about it. I'll still be here when you're ready.

    Alright fellas the first samples are done. Those of you who were listed above will receive emails with payment information. And as soon as I get some feed back from them, I will make any changes necessary and start producing them and selling them in the classifieds.

    Thanks for all of your patience!

    Got my sight installed on the model 500. Now just have to shoot it to try it out. I'd like to get a fiber optic front sight first.

    lamina1982,

    When you find a company that makes them, let me know. I would like the same on my 686.

    Also, for those that have concerns changing out your own sight blade. I am going on vacation tonight through Sunday. When I get back, I will write up a recommended installation technique with pictures and everything. Hopefully we will get our laser CNC up and running here at work again and I'll have a bunch of the special screw drivers cut out.

    Thanks,
    Matt

    Might I recommend SDM? Hi Viz has a round top profile. I like a square top blade.
