    A bit of home brew smithing.....

    Got a .410 cheap for the kids but butt was too long so cut it down and sawed a bit of barrel off which has made it a lot handier for the kids.....and me. Then had a hankering to shoot a solid through via the 44-40 route but was advised against it. Some then mentioned slug loads so ok I'll try that. Poor pumpkin didn't know what happened to it.... . So on clicked the light bulb...I need something better to aim with so I'll get a peep sight made up for it. Yeah right the smith didn't want to know about it. Naaah there's gotta be a way......and this was a result




    Yeah laugh if you want.......it's a bit hori I know but waiting for some expoxy or solder to join the 'peep sight' to the rib. I will put a shot through it to see if I'm on the right track and if it works it'll be a bit more permanent . Can't show a photo of the front bit as I'm waiting for above mentioned glue n solder. Plus you fullas might need a rest from laughing.....I will keep ya posted.....
