M5A1 coming along...

So I didn't care much for him growing up but now that I am older I can finally see the benefit to having an older brother...and the fact that he is a machinist with a full CNC shop is just icing on the cake..

These are the turret hold down fixtures that not only retain the turret but also help keep it centered on the turret bearings...well on the M5A1 you need 8 of them...and I had one..so after searching for a few months we decided to make new ones..

Just a few profiles to cut on the outside, evidently I have to do this on the Bridgeport manual because "someone" is too busy making aircraft parts...
