Wow what a great thread.
Nice on the cooling gizmo. I think I see a side job in your future!
Somebody tell me about the rear sight. Was that cut by the previous owner? Maybe to accommodate aging eyes?
Reason I say it is for years on my iron sight "bad weather" and bear guns, I have widened the rear notch substantially and then used thick front posts. I have 20/20 distance vision far away but up close it's all fuzz. The wide rear sight gives both precision and fast acquisition. Looks like whoever owned your double felt the same way?
Hello 93x64mm,
Thanks for the reply. It's been a while on this one.
I've used my cooling tunnel a lot over the years. I wouldn't leave home without it.
Yes, the front sight is a very deep "V" - but it works great. Very fast for targeting and easy to see/use with my old eyes.
