Shes prettyPiddling with the SMR. Have the trigger guard fitted and pinned. Have the barrel pinned and got the tip on the ramrod and peened. Started installing the ramrod pipes. Went for a woods walk.

Unfortunately I do it all to often.Y’all ever make something, then put it up so well that you can’t find it later? Man that irritates me - cause I do it to myself…

I’d try to shim it first.I shot today and found my rear sight was loose. Still is. Should I peen it when I get it close or no?
I am about two inches right at 25 currently
But you saved the lead!Made a 10 lb mess today. Put my mold on top of a full pot of lead. I guess I bumped the handle. I walked back in the room just in time to see the last of the pot drain. Luckily it sits in an aluminum pan which I destroyed when freeing the pot base from the lead. That was my happy day!
Thanks brotherVery nice work.
Yep. What TDM said: "shim it." This is the most effective way for sure, no messing with the tolerances of the dovetail, I find. The best shim material for me is the trusty aluminium drink can. Just cut a couple of strips as wide as the dovetail and slightly longer with about 10mm hanging over each side. Place one piece in the dovetail, tap in the sight for a good fit (may need two thicknesses for a loose dovetail). Once the sight is where you like it cut the extensions of either side of the barrel flush with the sight using a Stanley knife (box cutter?) - cuts super easy. And, you don't see the shim!

Use a center punch put a few dimples in the bottom of the milled slot on the barrel. Tap the sight in.I shot today and found my rear sight was loose. Still is. Should I peen it when I get it close or no?

I can sympathize. There is so much stone in our soil that when we drilled a well the dirt from the bore was grey, not brown.Spent half the day on the end of a post hole digger making sparks. Does that count?
I don’t think it was Chert though. :/
I am 76 and our Lab Chloe is 12. When she goes I don't think it would be right to get a puppy. Dog should not have to mourn its master. Maybe a mature rescue dog is an answer. Chloe is our 6th Lab and I remember each one of them. Just can not imagine living without a dog.we still haven't replace our girls with a pup. both died last year. not sure we are going to get another one, though my wife was talking puppy breath yesterday.
any pictures of your pup?
Yes. We call that "putting it someplace safe". Once we put something "someplace safe" it is lost forever.Y’all ever make something, then put it up so well that you can’t find it later? Man that irritates me - cause I do it to myself…
i can do this 3-4 times a day! be using something, set it down and somebody comes along and hides it.Yes. We call that "putting it someplace safe". Once we put something "someplace safe" it is lost forever.
"Someplace safe" must be the biggest room in our home, but I don't know where it is.
