    Lollipop sight

    have you used one? since you have to be able to bend it to fit your requirements i wonder how robust they are ? do they get nocked out of their set position easily? could it cope being snagged on clothing or a branch?

    Great Trails part 2

    great pics. i've never seen this before.. how does that work? does the barrel have to end up in the exact centre of the tube each time it is adjusted to cut a new line of rifling? i see that that barrel is tapered so does tension ensure that the centre of the barrel is the same as the last...
