I love watching these videos because I learn something ever day and I've learned that it's easier to avoid mistakes than to try and repair mistakes (usually cheaper, too!).

Art,
Thanks. After watching the videos (yep, all seven) I have a better idea of what was going on.
If I am not mistaken, that was a cosmetic restoration of a gun that had had a piss poor prep job done on it to prepare for bluing (being a USArmy pistol it had been Parkerized to start with?).
It was interesting to see the screw that that had been used to replace a lost pin. Looks like something I would have done, but at least, from this thread, I now know to use a drill bit shank.
Thanks for your patience.
Les
