Thread: A bit of home brew smithing.....

Unfortunately I don't own a mig nor have access to one. I did think of a nut but was at a loss of how to fix it in place plus what a waste of a perfectly good nut.......
Now for the piece de resistance......


.....the front bead sight.....

I have put a couple of shots through it doing minute of A4 paper at 20 yards......yeah she's no 200 metre magpie wacker but in saying I had a .223 once that actually grouped worse than this one ...at the same sort of distance but that's another story.

I've glued the rear sight to the rib now and it's had a bit of time to set. So far it seems to be holding ok. Not sure if you can see it in photo but there is hole through the rear sight acting as a 'ghost ring'. There's still some fine tuning to be done, the rear sight will be tidied up when I work out its 'zero' as such.
