Earrings in a pig! Hi point 995 transformation...

You are a talented individual Geezer! Like your work. I've considered buying a 995 several times, but having a 9mm ar and a Marlin Camp 9 can't really justify it. But that one you have might make me change my mind if you decide to sell.
 
Did you buy the metal already perforated?

How did you bend it into such a nice cylinder?

Nice finish work, btw!

Thanks fellas!
Yes it's already perfed, it's .080 stainless, and I used stainless washers for the end pieces. I use a vice, a solid 1" bar, and a BFH to bend it into a cylinder, Tig it with 347 stainless wire. Had to ream the ID of the washers to fit the barrel on a lathe. 10/32 nut welded inside for the hex head set screw. Tig weld washers to cylinder, then work ends into shape on the lathe...Now, I think I'm going to paint it black...
