Attached is a picture of a Baker sight. The leaf is a little too loose. There is no play though. I think I want to add a detent of some kind. Any ideas on how to do a neat job?
I made the rifle from a parts set a couple of years ago. I did nothing to the inside of the barrel. The owner complained that it was cutting patches an making 2-foot groups at 50 yards. I checked the bore. IT was ugly. There were bad tool marks on the lands from drilling and not reaming the bore. The rifling cutter was not properly sharpened and left ugly ridges in the bottoms. There were extremely tight an loose spots when checked with a lead lap slug. I hand to bash lap past the tight spots to swage it down. The muzzle was flared. After two day of lapping with 100 grit it is getting close to one size front to back. The owner is a youtuber. He took some pictures and videos of the lapping process. Hopefully I can share those later.
