I found those when looking for real/accurate diagrams for your project, this is about the only thing I found, despite lots of “blueprints” etc. looking at the notes on them, I’d say these were drawn by a gunsmith for replacement parts? Nor surprised that you nailed the extractor, you did the Merr-Sonn button nearly perfectly from a couple pics!
I’ve thought about the grips a lot. I think they’re just lathed slightly conical cylinders, cut in half. Then you just have to figure out the little cuts at the top, they’re a bit wacko! I might be wrong as always, I haven’t done anything to confirm this, just imagining how I might make them.
Oh, and I only use mm as a matter of preference. The base 10 system just works better for me. Plus 1mm is smaller than 1/16, so it’s more accurate hah! I think machinists might tend to prefer imperial, at least in the US!
I won’t nag for today’s progress…
