A short update. (If anyone is still here or paying attention  ) I made the new front sight this week and it is of sufficient height to compensate for the issues I was seeing plus a little more so I can regulate it at the range with a manual milling machine (ie; what my friend Ric calls a File). New testing won't happen for a few weeks at best as the snow is deep and winter is long. I'll report again when the seasonal climate change occurs and the snow melts.

Any updates on this, I would love to hear how it shoots and whether taking it down and reassembling it changes the point of impact.

Ok about updates, please be patient since mine has been stretched big time over the last 11 weeks. Fingers cross maybe something in the next week or so.
One thing I can report is setting up for rust bluing got a boost, met with Mark Lee on Tuesday and he gave me a couple of his fine wire carding wheels. Thanks Mark! I have known and been friends with him since the 1970's.

In early March I sent the bolt out to have the knob checkered with 2 panels. I got it back today and here are the pics ![[Linked Image from i.imgur.com]](https://i.imgur.com/kXZ0B3V.jpg) ![[Linked Image from i.imgur.com]](https://i.imgur.com/GzcgsD4.jpg)
