G10 Slot Needed - 08/05/21 12:23 PM

Hi I have wanted to build a #16 Diver with an orange handle for years.
I found a piece of orange G10 but need to get a slot cut.
Can anyone suggest someone who can cut the slot?

Thank you

I had a local machine shop cut them for me, pricey but that’s what I wanted..

If you know anyone with a milling machine, they can do that easily. Machine shops, some gunsmiths and hobbyists could do that for you. If the place where you work has a shop than you might get one of the guys to do it over lunch.

here is mine

Before you start cutting your G10 block...I would contact the RMK shop and and get exact measurement's they will accept..length, width and depth of the slot...and specify what RMK it will be used for.....just sayin'.

slotted material(suitable for a Randall) is not similar in dimension to non slotted material
BUT...if your going to get a shop to cut the "slot" I'm sure they could do the rest of the forming
I gave my last orange slotted away....right??
then, when I needed one....I ran across a generous fellow that visits this site on occasion that reciprocated my kindness....what goes around....comes around
