Unfortunately I didn't keep the target file for that one. I don't recall ever shooting any Minnies or conicals out of it, just tightly patched balls. I think 90 grains of GOEX FFg was one of loads...

RE: Semisane's LOL Aperture Signt

Hey Cayugad, I went outside with the empty gun about twenty minutes after sunset and took a sight on my neighbor's dog about forty yards away (she would have had a heart attack if she'd been home). I...

RE: Semisane's LOL Aperture Signt

The blueing job is just awaiting purchase of a bottle of Birchwood-Casey cold blue (I know I have some around here somewhere, but can't find it. Maybe I loaned...

RE: Semisane's LOL Aperture Signt

Guys, I know it's a LOL sight :D, but last Sunday morning I put six shots into a three-inch bull at 50 yards from a bench. I still need to modify the front sight and raise it to 1/2" for dead on at...

RE: Semisane's LOL Aperture Signt

Or I can screw in any one of the three size apertures, depending on conditions. The 1/8" one makes a darn good target sight. The 1/4" one is in place in this picture.

RE: Semisane's LOL Aperture Signt

RE: Semisane's LOL Aperture Signt

Got my buddy with a lathe to modify the three bolts. Drilled them with a 1/8" hole, a 3/16" hole, and a 1/4" hole, shortened the shank to the thickness of the modified nut, and rounded and dished the...

RE: Semisane's LOL Aperture Signt

Then I drilled and tapped one side of the nut to 4mm/.70 pitch, and ground the nut flat on both sides, and rounded all the flats except the drilled and tapped one. The picture shows it in three...

RE: Semisane's LOL Aperture Signt

I also bought a 4mm/.70 pitch machine screw, a small rubber "O" Ring, and a nylon washer. Cost about a buck and a quarter.

RE: Semisane's LOL Aperture Signt

So I went to the local hardware store and bought three bolts 1/2" X 20 threads per inch, and a nut. Cost a little over two bucks.

RE: Semisane's LOL Aperture Signt
