A Little Sight Work Before and After

[Mr. Smith]

This is a sight treatment I do from time to time around the shop.

Once the work is done I Cera-Kote the sights, gun and reinstall.

Let me know what you think.

[Bolt_Overide]

very nice as usual.

[samuse]

That looks really good.

I've been thinking how I'd like to see someone take a Harrison fixed rear replacement for the Springfield adjustable and clean it up to look a little nicer/sleeker.

I like the sight, it's just blocky and ugly. I think it would look a lot better trimmed down thinner.

[Coal Dragger]

Looks really nice. I assume you do the blending job after you regulate for windage, or do you just do both windage and elevation at the front sight and leave the rear alone?

[R0CKETMAN]

not bad..could use a profile shot

[Mr. Smith]

This is the best shot I have of the profile.

[MoCop]

That is very nice!!

[Fpnunes]

Very slick - nice execution.

[Mr. Smith]

Thank you

[eternal24k]

That is very nice, absolutely love that look

[gsxr-fan]

Very nice Sir. Could this then be the start of a new trend?

[Mr. Smith]

I thank you for your complements.
People have not seen the sight work that often but I have done it for about ten years.
In short I am not the first its just one of the things I do around the shop.

[JeremyW]

Very nice. How long does that take you? Just curious...

[Mr. Smith]

The work is about 2hr of file time.

[weggy]

Great work. How do you feel about moving to NC?

[Mr. Smith]

Thanks
The move I don't know.

[Campbell]

Perfect, imo.:)
