I put the "Glow in the dark" paint on both rifles after my last post. I have to remove the shroud on the carbine for the sight to receive more natural light. However the SGRifle bead was also painted with the "Glow in the dark paint" and I had no problem seeing the painted bead. Just in case I've got the Romeo5 and adapters ready for Friday's Range session.

First range day with the H001L carbine. Had to remove the front sight shroud in order to get some light on the "glow in the dark" paint. The rifle was way off, too low and to the left. I took a plastic faced mallet and a punch to move the rear sight per the video. I took my smallest screw driver but the set screw is way smaller than my small screwdriver. Gave up and mounted the red dot. Fair result at 50 yards on a 12 inch target. 4 shots in 2 inch bullseye, 10 in the 4 inch ring, 8 in the 8 inch ring and 1 in the 12 inch ring. What size screwdriver is needed to loosen the rear sight set screw? I also attempted to remove the front sight and replace it with a Hiviz unit the I had ordered. No luck removing the screws! What's is the secret?

Don't worry about getting older and still doing stupid stuff. You'll do the stupid stuff as always, only much slower. Hold my beer and watch this.......

Nag nag. Lol. I truly am blessed in that regard. I'll tell the story of getting that deer out of the field someday. Good campfire stuff. We need a Rocky Mtn gathering sometime. Fiends around the campfire, everybody's high...Wait...flashback.

I ordered a DIP inc rail for my H001L carbine two days ago. Received it today! That's Customer Service!
