Here are some pics as requested. These range in vintage from 1985 to two days ago. Upper left, the scribed line represents the bottom of the trigger track. The yellow arrow is just to clarify the highest point of the hi-grip cut, as the pic is a little dark in that area. That point is right at the tip of the arrow. This one is, ah, a work in progress.... I work on this one an average of three hours a year, that's since 1983. It's for me, so at least you guys know that I give the worst "gunsmith timing" to myself. All of these have .040-.050 steel between the bottom of the trigger track and the top of the hi-grip cut.
Dane, the one in the background has sorta like the Wave only it was a real calm day at the lake. Customer-designed, plain-Jane straight grooves. He wouldn't let me do anything fancy on the frontstrap, but I got over on him by checkering the breechface, the underside of the Wilson sight, and the feedramp!
Lower right, unrelated, sorry-- a mainspring housing I did today that I wanted to show n' tell. It spells "Back Off" in Clingon.
