In the finished picture the entire lower lock molding is glued in wood to raise the lock up to where is is suppose to be, I put the glue line right where the lower molding breaks over to hide it. As for the wonky trigger guard installation, I installed it early nice and tight, then found another precarve flaw when I was finishing the gun and had to reinlet parts of the trigger guard which put my already drilled pin hole in the wrong place for a tight fit. I plan to fix that at a later date.

I went with a peep I already had made, I like a thicker one but a bum knee makes standing the shop uncomfortable.



This is the before picture.

Eric,
I might have a spare steel front sight down in the shop. What sized dovetail are you needing?

I checked and I have two. Both are around 5/16 (ish) wide bases. One is a small blade and the other is larger.
Sorry, not set up for pictures.

Thanks, I used the nickel silver sight, it works and looks OK now that it is dirty.
