Hi,
Am building some Pre M91 Convex chin scales from scratch .. (Yes, I like a challenge)
I wanted some Tombak ones but they are impossible to find. So I've bough a small sheet of it.
I've seen the very informative threads on rebuilding chinscales, which are a great help.
No problem cutting the new scales as I have a set as a template.
I am trying to think of a way to uniformly bend the scales into the convex shape. Some sort of press as I don't think hammering will be uniform enough
Any ideas on how to form the shape, much appreciated
