Looking at getting one of these to fix up for my son in law.
How easy or hard is it to remove the rear sights ?
Don't have one I can look at and need to know if it
screwed on
Dovetailed on
Soldered on
Integral with the barrel
Etc
Front will go when suppressor is fitted.
If its the mod 2 .22lr your speak of, it has a sliding type ramp sight that has a cross pin holding the leaf in. It can be knocked out with a pin punch. They are tapered on one end so come out easier one way than the other
Easy to remove the rear sight, but you cant remove the sight bracket which is part of the barrel
That's what I wanted to know.Quote:

Oh yes you can, On the one I sold I had the sight removed by an "actual gunsmith" who actually could fix stuff properly the first time, and the barrel re-profiled to remove the step/shoulder left behind after the sight base removal then re-blued after the front sight was removed and barrel shortened an threaded for suppressor.Quote:

If anyone ever finds a Bruno Model 2, serial number 350444 I would like to buy it back as I sold it in a fit of stupidity as I just had to have a Remington 597
Im keen on the sight parts if you have no interest in keeping them?

I cant remember if he got it fixed or replaced with a 22 magnum which I think was the options from the gunshop.Quote:

Any photos of chopped and suppressed Bruno’s?thinking about having mine done as the barrel is sooo long compared to my old jw15,seems a bit of a shame chopping such a nice gun down tho.
I would much rather go and buy a new rifle than cut down the barrel of one I already own. :thumbsup:Quote:

So accurate in fact that it's going to get a better trigger unit, stock and eventually a nicer scope. I'll take a picture of it later on for you.Quote:
