fake carbine in 22 mag

[Hank Stone]

I don't need one but I like it!

I stuck a M1 carbine flash suppressor on it as it is barrel light and that made it a lot more steady. Sort of silly to put a supressor on a .22 but it helps!

This weekend I worked on my 10/22. The sights arrived, so I drifted out the old front sight with a punch and drifted in the new one. What an odd application of a word: "drifting." I'm sure they use a mechanical punch to sqeeze the sites into the dovetail at the plant, but we "drift," as in support the barrel and wail away on a punch to move the sight out. In the process I smashed my thumb with the silly hammer, too.

Now that they are in, no kidding, the Tech Sites provide a MUCH better site picture - very much like an AR-15. Now why exactly do manufacturers put open rear leaf sites on rifles? It can't be all that much cheaper but there has to be a reason why they do it...


Now to zero the rifle.
