In making it I found that it does not easily grip on a magnetic chuck and needed to be on a magnetic transfer parallel and blocked in too. Another thing I found on the surface grinder is that it is a very soft steel in the annealed state and susceptible to "hogging in" with the wheel. If the guy doesn't have the right tooling, experience and grinding know-how, that part will be trashed in a flash.
in that case they may get filed down with some tape on the leaf to stop the file from marring the surface. He should know what he's doing he's been building classic guns for a long time and been a machinist for a long time, but then there's always that one time when things got butt up and stuff crashes. just thinking about it, it can't be done on the surface grinder using a Mag Chuck cause of the two bearings sticking out the side that would be on the chuck.
