Installed and blued ( I did it for now with cold blue, when I have more spare time I do a hot blueing for better result )

Looks good. What did you use to cut it out with? Do you have a press that you used to curve the handle part and put the grooves in with?

I use a normal handsaw for metal, for the curve I used a round piece of metal put it all together in the vise and used a hammer. Here

It took me between 3 a 4 hours, it was not a rush job....I needed something to do with my spare time.
My previous job was a double safety selector but I didn't take pictures from the progress. I will take a few now when installed on the AR and put them on the bord.

Why not?  That is probably more than whot they use in Peshawar to make AK47's with.
