Yet another PM-1236

Love the brass replacement knob, I can't stand the 'feel' of the supposed satin chrome finish on the knobs and dials. I know its for anti-corrosion purposes but I hate touching it. It should feel smooth and polished like my 44. mag Ruger Super Redhawk imo!

I like the brass top, can you tell us more about how you made it? I have a bunch of 360 stock, one of my favorite metals but damn expensive.
 
About the Top, I did not do anything very specific or odd to machine it.

Just chucked the stock and made the whole part before parting it out. I eyeball everything, I had no plan and no measurements whatsoever.
I would be actually embarrassed if I had to make a second one exactly the same.

Some more brass work :

Eventually, all the controls knobs will be replaced in brass. Color will indicate the lever holds a function.
Totally unnecessary but since I'm a beginner, it is good practice!
