FINISHED UP NEW GUN

The bullets may be smaller but not the challenge.

Well done Greg. I hope you continue to shoot perfect scores.

Shoot often and shoot well.

Robert Walker and I teamed up to spot that entry. Robert spotted C & P, I spotted T& R.
I think we were more nervous than Greg.
Yes, he was happy, as Robert and I were happy for him!

Happy? That wasn't the word for it. Ecstatc or euphoric is more like it. I also got my only 60 on that range. I was unemployed at the time and got a call while there and got a job. Pretty exciting weekend. Only wish the wife had been there.

To the best of my knowledge, new ones are not available. I would make some again were it not for the rear adjuster. Go back to the beginning of this thread and read my lengthy response to 260striker (if you've not already done so).
All I have left from the old days is about 10 or 12 tubes. I used my last adjuster to put together what you see in the picture. I made my end bells as two pieces whereas King's were a single piece. Mine threaded together with the sight blades trapped between two "O" rings. Newly manufactured tube sights in this day and age would be very pricey.
