My guess is 7.

(1) Ring is cut.
(2) Teeth for elevation cut on outer diameter of ring.
(3) Ring cut into individual pieces.
(4) Aperture is milled on backside.
(5) Aperture is drilled.
(6) Rounded off.
(7) Beadblasted and parkerized.

Very good. I see you did your homework. However, your not there yet.
Thanks again

OK, what process did I miss out on?

BTW, I remember the exhibit at Springfield Armory. That's the only way I could kinda/sorta guess.
