Just about ready to start working with my 30/30 barrel, had a question. It's gonna have a scope but the rear sight was missing when I got it. I had this buckhorn looking thing in my parts drawer. Problem is, you gotta put it on backwards to get it to fit because of the contour of the barrel. I flipped the insert so even the white outline is visible. Reckon that'll work? Don't wanna be committing any firearm-fashion-fauxpaux.
Sure wish I could work wood better. The tip of the forearm was mangled and had three holes from Bubba's attempt to center a sling swivel so I chopped it off and glued a piece of bloodwood on it. Bedded the portion behind the barrel stud with JBweld and then free floated the portion forward of the stud.
