Forty's peepsight.

Post by Vaquero » Wed Jul 14, 2021 7:16 pm

Well I finally replaced the benchgrinder, and made one of Forty's peep sights for the 44 mag BBB.
With a slight elevation adjustment I was wearing the 10" gong out from the deck.
Lol, it's still red as a redneck, I will remove a little more off the top and give it a shot of black paint.

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.......

Randy... get a bit of Acetone and the paint will come right off revealing a nice blued finish! Good job and glad it works well for you.

Well after shootin the one on the Marlin, I went back to the drawing board.
Pulled out a drill bit and went with a tad smaller hole.
Will try it later.

What size hole? The hacksaw blades usually have a .156 or 5/32 hole.

The drill bit measures .122.
Might not make much difference, but heck it only takes a couple mins. to whittle one out. :lol:
