I won't redo the plate as it's 'ok' but the jig might get a rework before being redone. I think I was trying to be clever and accidentally overdid its design. I think I need a 2nd jig that allows more clear access to the base of the upper receiver. ๐ค

which showed up as misaligned milling as I moved to the next side of each model. Even the finish was affected. After I'd done the jig and the underside of the mounting plate I'd gotten so frustrated that I had to try to figure out Makera CAM. After that the top side of the plate finished nicely.
