However, after grinding five of them for one customer, I am disappointed with the construction and attention to detail in the manufacture. This is my opinion and I have shared it with CSMC.

These are new and never been fitted to a gun, email if interested I learn something every day, and a lot of times it's that what I learned the day before was wrong

Sounds like a miniscule thing, but it's pretty glaring sometimes, and looks like shoddy workmanship when it's actually a shoddy pad to begin with.
