Roy this is a very interesting thread you have created. I can't do anything like this but I like to read about those who can. A tip of my hat to you and I am impressed with your "smithing" abilities. I have read some of your other stuff so I know you have other "smithing" abilities. Good write-up an wonderful photos of the process.

Yup...It Shoots!

I drifted the sight over and the next few shots were spot on windage.

Interestingly, I made a front sight out of a brass door lock key. Made it tall and took a file to the range. With a 6-O'clock hold, at 50yds, it was near perfect elevation!

Tomorrow I'll load some more ammo and take it out to 100yds and 200yds
