I purchased on eBay back in December. I took another look at it and reviewed it, it's significantly heavier than anything stock or brass, I really don't believe it's chrome coated over brass. What are your thoughts? I took pics under good light.

Seems these could be pretty simple to machine as well. I actually noticed one hole is just a slight small for insert, but that can easily be drilled out just a little and fit nicely.

Pretty sure those bridges are chromed brass.

Yep,

The brass is visible in the threaded screw holes.

Are you sure it's not solid gold?  Wsenti said it was heavy.   ::) Dominick
Leave the gun.  Take the cannolis.

There are two things I don't like about fishing.  Getting up early in the morning and boats.  The rest of it is fun.
