gunsmith or back to TC
 

I got an scope base for my new englander and in needs some drilling and tapping to make it work. I know a really good gunsmith but sending back to TC would be about the same amount to have it done.

What should I do?

Send it to TC. They screw it up, they'll replace the barrel do the work probably for free.

Shame on you for scoping the NE. I shall go ban your user name on my forum [8D]

I gotta get the regular sight holes retapped any why, thinking of how the stock drops, a scope may not stay on long.


FG, you know that ya gotta play with something once. I need another scope for my sks anyway. ;)

TC sent me a Email and said it was going to be 8 - 12 weeks on getting my Hawkins repaired
because they had shut down 2 shifts . it has been 3 weeks now.

The eight to twelve week turn around mentionedis a sign thatwhat I told you earlier and FG also recommends is correct. Do not scope the new englander!

I know you have been having some difficulty with accuracy and scopes help with consistent point of aim, but have you considered a peep sight? RMC makes an open/peep hybrid sight, may be an option.

Good luck with whatever route you choose.

wow that's weird beginning and ending this post with the same name. one of us needs a nickname.

I still need to get the thread retapped where the open sight is. I was thinking of an peep also thinking of a front globe. if I had the metal work training I would make one like someone else did in here.

lol, I know but should not be that much of a problem. [8D]
