gunsmithing ????
i was wondering if a gunsmith can install iron sights on a rifle that does not have them on the barrel.i have a gun that i would like to install iron sights on, but don't know if it is possible.
do any of you know? |
RE: gunsmithing ????
A good gunsmith should be able to on almost any gun. A dovetail is the normal method which would require him to mill. Be careful though.. knew someone last year that had some installed and the nickempoop gunsmith had the screws coming out on the inside of the barrel <img src=icon_smile_shock.gif border=0 align=middle>

..Ask him does he have a machined lathe,to do his drill
and tapping,if so they should be strait..good luck.:). ..JESUS IS COMING BACK BE READY... |
RE: gunsmithing ????
A gunsmith should be able to do this as long as he as the right equipment. It's really not that hard of a job, like TScottW99 said make sure he/she knows what they're doing. If they're idiots they could ruin your gun.

RE: gunsmithing ????
This is an easy installation and it's almost exclusively done by drilling and tapping.....a few smiths solder them and no one I know of dovetails them today.....but the previous posts are correct.....Take your work to a "smith"...not a "bargain" guy learning the trade!!!

Quilly,
Yes not a problem, make and model would help in determining which style of sights would be best. But since sight do not exsist on your rifle now I would assume it is a bolt action or a single shot, and D&T or sweat on can only be determined after barrel thickness has been astablished.
