I have put around 30 rounds through it, hope to try it again with the new rear sight Sunday.

Ok, some good news. I put the Ruger rear sight on and took the carbine for a spin. Fortunately, the weather cooperated with good light, no rain/snow, and just a bit of wind. This time, the carbine was shooting as good as any of my other rifles with sights, including my .30-30's.

This is how it did at 75 yards. The group in the center looks huge, but is actually three separate groups with different elevation settings. This is as good as I can do with any rifle without a scope so I am happy. The final group was with Fiocchi and tightened up noticeably compared to the rest which were Tula FMJ and substituted Hornady soft points.

Can't see the picture but glad it is working good.
Thanks. For some reason I can no longer post pics here.
