Almost done with my Data Sheet but have a couple questions.

1. How do you measure the barrel P height?  Is it the height/size of the letter or distance from the breech?  EDIT: going to put 1/16" for now let me know if I am wrong.

2. The length asked for in the Receiver section measures 23/32" or .71875" from the cut to the back on mine. I only have a plain ruler to measure with. Is that correct?

n/a 3. The diagram for staking of front and rear sights has me a bit confused. I assume the order is: No staking, 2 stake marks, 4 stake marks, but what does the last selection with the double circle mean? Can someone explain each symbol and how they relate to front and rear staking check boxes?  Edit: Nevermind, finally realized I have the circular stakings on the side of the pins.

Approximate best you can. It is size of P. Data sheet does not ask position. Newsletters address aproximate location based on timeline.

If something stands out some one will contact you.

Fun stuff, isnt it

Can always mark additional data on back box and write distance from P to muzzle there.

After thinking about it seems obvious they need size of the letter.  Also the staking is pretty obvious once I took a break for a cold one and came back lol.

I am so glad I left everything apart until I finished the data sheet.  I had to look at everything more than once and was glad I took a lot of up close pics to refer to while eyeballing it all again.

It was fun.  Took me a couple hours though.

Hey spread the word that if you use the digitial PDF out there you can print to the Microsoft XPS Writer in your printer list and it will save it to your drive as a file.  Then you can reprint it any time you like.
