Real nice! A guy can tie up a fair amount of time making scope mounts. I just finished 2, and have the 3rd about done. Mine aren't as refined as yours are, but it depends on how much can you can charge for making 'um, as to how much time you can invest.

Thank you! Yes, they do suck up quite a bit of time. But from the video it looks like it only takes about three minutes

I cheat My DRO has a circle pattern guide (I'm sure it has a different name). I punch in the radius minus half the cutter diameter, tell it how many holes (30 works well) and then just follow the coordinates. It's how I cut a lot of radius' like the one on the front of the base in the video.

I've done it a couple of ways and still am not real happy with my results. Curious how you make that cut.
It looks to me that the torch has been passed and that the Custom Gun Trade will be in good hands.The level of dedication and skill that is being shown by these young makers is a great thing to see!
