FCK asked:
Question: why haven't you cut the rear sight yet? Are you going to use some rudimentary mark at the range before the final cut? Huh
Brent,
I'm in no real hurry, but the reason is the range that I normally sight my guns in, is undergoing major improvements that won't be finished until next spring. I like to shoot my guns off a sand bag rest to see where they print at 25 yards (past SASS distances if you get my drift).
I'll just lay a light file mark across the top of the rear sight to check the windage and go from there. I'm putting a high front sight on the barrel so elevation will be easy.
I appreciate the compliment, I tried to research this gun and get all the drawings done before I started...but I still missed a couple of things on this one that I won't on the next one, like the step on the loading gate in the photo I posted yesterday, I'm already building a fixture to machine that step.
The next one I do I plan on taking photos of the machining steps to show how to make the recoil ring, gate, indent and spring and firing pin installation and the fixtures I've made to machine the parts, and post them here....don't get in too big a hurry to see them, it won't be until after the first of the year sometime around March...
