Don,
Can you share with us how you make the really thin metal rings on your guns? Yours looks so clean, square and like they came out of a professional machine shop.
I've used a Dremmel cut off wheel to cut the piece. I file down the tubing before cutting it so at least one end is square. I made a half-assed sliding jig to try to get straight cuts but it isn't too accurate on parts this small. Then after I cut it they are really too small to file down easily on the cut side.
If you can share your technique it would be great. Thanks.
