No. 4 Front Sights

[Sapper740]

Real Armourers used a brass drift and a small ball peen hammer.

I guess I'm a "Real Armourer" then because that's all I've ever used.

[Strangely Brown]

I have a brass drift and "toffee" hammer in my range box for exactly that purpose.

As my Grandfather said to me .Don't be a butcher when the correct tools are handy. My Father didn't say anything i just got walloped if i didn't take noticed of the cough before hand.
The cramp is absolutely more accurate. Coming from a target shooting aspect when real zeros are needed not minute of man because of the longer ranges shot.
How many shooters today have the tools to zero their peep sight to the bore before they do anything else like the front sight without firing a shot for both zeros.

The cramp is absolutely more accurate.

I was going to say (But not too loud) that we weren't allowed to use hammer and drift on the firing line. I'd far rather use a cramp than attempt to smash the sight to correct position.

I always carefully support the muzzle in a vice (vise)............

I look at it that I'm rebuilding a rifle for the end user to zero to their ultimate satisfaction. The friend with the Mk1 SMLE left with the foresight blade that I fitted & a selection of others for if needed. He also had a slot booked at a 100yd tunnel range...& a sight cramp!

Sure, in the shop...me too. Then they're easy.

I have all of the tools. SMLE, No.4, No.5, P'14/M1917 and Sterling SMG. I still use a small brass drift and hammer. Never had a problem although I admit that the tool works smoother and is probably more accurate. I do have an SMLE tool that's almost worn out from tight blades.

For the 303's as far as I know what I have;
L - R ~ No.4 rifle sight adjustment tool, No.1 MkIII sight adjustment tool.

Yeah they're a bit dusty dont really touch them much as you can see think there is some Siamese stuff there as well bl**-dy cat!

[browningautorifle]

[CINDERS]

Yes he is a bit of a bane in my room most times jumps up whilst I'm typing something causing keyboard chaos, of course it's not his fault by the look I get !
