I'm working on my first ML, a 54 caplock GRP kit. This site has proven to be an excellent resource so far. Got the fitting complete, working on the stock finishing now and prepping the metal for finishing. I think I'm going to attempt to rust blue using LMF browning sol'n. I don't know what to do with the sights. I know they will need some filing and a few whacks to get them dialed in. Right now the dovetail fit it tight for both, I don't want to drift them in and out unnecessarily and loosen the fit. Do you all fine tune sights before you blue or brown, as in shoot a box of balls first, then finish the barrel with sights in place? Or finish the pieces separately and touch up the sights later? Is it even possible to touch up rust bluing? I intend this to be a deer gun shooting PRB and somewhere in the 70-100 gr 2F. Thanks in advance.
