back in the shop......Lexington rifle
« on: April 11, 2016, 01:43:18 AM »
 ;D
been lazy and absent for a few months....sorta job, family, sickness, you know~~~
any ways, i want to tinker, and put the sights in....when a lock gets to me, someday, i will be able to drill the tang holes and brown the barrel........so it will age the sights to the barrel~




nice little feather sight, what does the feather mean????...heck if i know...something a-kin to swiftness of the ball???

anyhow...tomtom said to let you folks know I'm still alive and kickin.................... ;D

The feather means that style of rear sight is liable to fly away and never be found again.... ;)
I figured Tom Tom had a bad fur ball or something. ;D

Say, any of you boys smithies? Or, if not smithies per se, were you otherwise trained in the metallurgic arts before straitened circumstances forced you into a life of aimless wanderin'?
