As everyone knows, I love to work on carbines. Here is an early tab springtube Winchester I rebuilt last year. I put on one of those NOS rear sights from Riverbank. Looks great, right.

Sounds like something Roger would do.....Like stacking carbines like cordwood!

As I said here is some of my work. For years I have laughed inside when all of you told Newbies they had to replace their front sight if the carbine shot too high. I did this in the 60's. I just built it up alittle with?

TEST, can you tell what it is?

Orange Jello??
Wouldn't building up the front sight make it shoot lower?

Thanks, I changed above from low to high. And no it is not Jello but a good guess.

It looks pretty good Bubba-7, but why didn't you polish and blue it or at least have it nickel plated?
Did you run out of money?
You've been making good cash (Off the IRS records) siphoning septic tanks into the pure spring fed stream upstream behind that old run down trailer park you're living at in your grandmother's trailer house.
Didn't your second job at the meth lab thing work out as you planned?

We know who you are and the dogs are on their way! BTW We know how many carbines you have and figured it had to be one of yours. They can't all be pristine originals.:dancingbanana::dunno:

But Jimb....
He's putting those "Day-Glow" sights on every carbine in his collection, power-sanding all of his stocks and stacking them up in great heaps again!

(Make the dogs run faster!) :eek:
