That's Hornet, not rimfire - and it's definitely something to celebrate




Yep, a full length Zimmerman Hornet insert, and a tack driver. It came installed and regulated.

I just had Lee LeBas modify the rear sight operation. Since the insert is in the right barrel, as is common, Lee disconnected the sight from the rifle cocker/selector and made it a manual flip up, so the sight can be raised without actuating the rifle to the front trigger. It's not a problem if the scope is the sight, but I like to have the iron sight option, also.

Lee took out the operating rod and made a spring that holds the blade, and holds the blade down...cleaver gunsmith with a lifetime of working on these guns.
