I’ve never Tri-topped a slide before. Obviously as the pictures will show 🙄. Clearly I failed when it broke thru the barrel lug recesses. It’s also clear that I didn’t balance the material removed from the top vs the 45 degree sides. Regardless of all those newby mistakes the recess walls would still have been very reduced/thin. I would not have realized how thin if I hadn’t cut the .020 deep pockets you see. Clearly I could have just stayed away from the recess area with the pockets and there would have been no break-thru but it would have still been to thin.
So I’m open to any pointers from people that have actually done this before successfully.
I have more slides so I haven’t given up.
Thank you in advance,
Lance
