:tard:
Am I missing something? Why are the holes beveled on the same side? Think about it. Typically, you use the beveled side to attach an ASA. None of the holes is threaded... Misfire from the factory? Or is there a special ASA that went with these?
Made on Monday morning with a bad hangover from partying all weekend.
Yeah, I'm not even sure how you would attach one since how many ASA's are threaded??? Its pretty though!!!Quote:

I think there uses to be a special cradle thingy that went with that.
Looks like the one I have for my NW ON/OFF that has the threads in the on/off so you direct mount it to the drop. People like weird options so maybe the beveled both sides so you could flip it upsidedown. I gave done that and used it as a stock. But yeah you need to either use screws and nuts or an on/off that is threaded. PS I have one I might be willing to sell. ;)
No need. It came in on a marker and I just sat there scratching my head. I'll probably throw it in the parts box and maybe some day will come across the matching part if one exists.Quote:

If so, mines a screw up.Quote:

Just amazes me that something would make it not only from machining like that, but get to the point of being anodized etc and then into consumers hands. Amazing.Quote:

Probably just a setup mistake by the machinist, it was probably set aside then ended up back in the completed pile by mistake. Could have been part of 500 or 1000 parts being made, easy to over look if someone placed it in the pile not knowing it was screwed up. :)
Easy fix even with a hand drill if you have the tooling. ;)Quote:

I'll still hit it with 800+ sandpaper until it gives good grip and not cause excessive bleeding.
what?Quote:

I couldn't imagine that ikea would miss drilling a hole in it, but that is exactly what happened. lol.
