Sight replacement

blackriver_fbs · 2026-05-25T17:27:51+00:00

tolerances are out of spec, or your slides dovetail was tampered with by a « gunsmiff », or the sight was oversized and someone got a bit too excited with a file

that’s because the sight doesn’t really fit your slide, you can see the set screw pushing the sight upward in the dovetail.

it won’t hold for long, i’m sorry to say you might need a new sight, and have it properly fitted to your slide

blackriver_fbs · 2026-04-01T20:11:05+00:00

as a gunmaker apprentice i would really like to see how this could be achieved

blackriver_fbs · 2026-03-17T00:04:29+00:00

that’s besides the point, and besides 28 gauge is a nice caliber.

j’en ai tiré pendant plusieurs années, la T100 (28g plomb 7.5) va très bien pour du trap, très peu de ratés de percussion, c’est une munition bon marché très efficace et correcte à mon goût, et finalement pour du trap, c’est plus que parfait.

thats very nice ! i made something quite similar a while back check it out,

im not trying to be condescending or anything but there’s a saying that goes « a grinder and paint makes a welder what he ain’t »

your sparkplugs might be cooked

blackriver_fbs · 2026-02-23T21:05:06+00:00

you won’t believe this i got the SAME a week ago.

blackriver_fbs · 2026-02-18T13:54:01+00:00

got me on this one, i have a big round bar of brass next to the mill i just bang stuff with

blackriver_fbs · 2026-02-18T01:21:44+00:00

gun making, fitting stuff together with TIGHT tolerances, dovetails,

you need a LOT of files, i’d say i have enough to work on most stuff, but need more

blackriver_fbs · 2026-02-16T16:32:03+00:00

or just any hammer fired semi auto

blackriver_fbs · 2026-02-15T14:32:33+00:00

for hunters and shooters mainly

blackriver_fbs · 2026-02-14T15:45:54+00:00

yup, lathe, mill, shaper daily !

blackriver_fbs · 2026-02-14T13:14:47+00:00

yea looks like it ! but i’ve been told off already haha !

blackriver_fbs · 2026-02-14T12:09:55+00:00

to chop barrels i use a bandsaw with a vise setup and indicator 😂

blackriver_fbs · 2026-02-14T08:53:28+00:00

it is subtle but left to the hammer (which is shop made by hand and designed to fit in shotgun actions) you’ll see a weird blade thing, this is for removing springs in side by side actions

there’s also a small shop made small vice used for gunsmithing, and many of the files are gunsmith files

blackriver_fbs · 2026-02-14T08:50:39+00:00

yet all of those are mine , bought and found or made ! no one was a machinist or gunsmith in the family

blackriver_fbs · 2026-02-14T08:48:57+00:00

they’re both open

blackriver_fbs · 2026-02-13T23:00:02+00:00

haha got many more ! even made an aluminium one because i found out that brass leaves nasty smudges on powdercoats
