doublegunshop.com - home Forums General Discussion DIY Gunsmithing @ doublegunshop.com Sight repair

Not double gun related but a Best quality Rigby .275 Mauser but I thought some of you might find this interesting.









Ready for micro welding. More pics this week as the restoration is wrapping up. I will post a full thread on the rifle in the single barrel forum as things proceed.

How about that, someone thought a Beech sight was a good idea. I suppose, don't throw it out, it might come in handy for something else.

It may in fact be a good thing?
Many British rifles had a large "moon" sight for night shooting, and I have seen photos of a patented flip-up sight protector, same idea as a Beach?

The Beach sight was not original to the rifle. A very kind forum member provided me the build sheet on this rifle and it originally had a solid ivory front sight. I did not know that until after I had fit up the new Recknagel front sight insert.

Well done!

Thanks for sharing that. I really appreciate the gunsmithing contributions from Steve, Mark, and others. Fine gunsmiths and classy guys.

I like that sight. Nice work, Steve. Thanks for posting.

Yeah... classy indeed!



Almost as classy as running continuous advertising of a gunsmithing and gun importation business when you know Dave Weber's feeling about using his forum for self-promotion:

And a little tease of the rifle, very rare transitional model 98, intermediate length small ring. The only commercial rifles Oberndorf ever sold in this configuration went to Rigby, Chapter 19 in the Speed Sporting Rifle book describes the rifles.

So Stevie, when your continuous free advertising of your gunsmithing and firearms importing business, or your offers do do gunsmithing work in your posts generate business... do you compensate Dave accordingly?

Internet doxxing is pretty classy behavior too Stevie. When you, BrentD and Bob Cash conspired to engage in internet doxxing, you all knew that posting such information of the web could endanger the families of those you decided to attack. In fact, when I informed Bob Cash that I could do the same to him by posting his personal information including GPS coordinates to his house and even a Google Earth or Zillow picture of it, he went absolutely nuts and screamed that I was threatening his family.

He stopped immediately, but you continue on with your slimy attempts to intimidate me. How's that working for you? Acting innocent now isn't going to work. You made your bed...

And a very rare DWM 1902 Mexican action, also a intermediate length small ring action. This will be a custom rifle built to the same pattern as the Rigby. I may keep this one when I finish it.

Holy Crap!... Talk about beat up and abused vises!

Andy ready to blue

The black girl who cleans the offices at work has buckle strap shoes just like yours Stevie... except hers are cleaner. If she posted here, she probably wouldn't feel right doing continuous free advertising at Dave's expense. I think she has too much class to do that.

Looks good I had a dwm Mexican mauser in 6mm rem it was a good light rifle do you have a picture of the rigby?

I have before pics on the Rigby Mark, should have completed ones in a week or so. Started the rust blue yesterday. The DWM polish is coming along nicely, a bit more to do before I barrel it and build sights.

Steve,

In my drawer of STUFF I have a Mexican Mauser action with a date of 1931. Was this a later run of the 1910's built in Mexico?

I am pretty sure you are correct Rob. This Rigby in the shop inspired my interest in the small ring intermediate actions and I am still learning about them. They can be made in to a nice slim rifle.
Steve

Well Stevie, if you were after the non-reflective uneven military type finish, you almost nailed it. Is that dust, dirt, or pitting around the solder joint? How could you post this only hours after being so hyper-critical of a couple specs of dust on this superb rust bluing done by PA24?



Did you do this, or is this more of the work that you have told us that you sub-contract out to someone else?

It took quite a while to finish this. You might have more time to get your customers guns completed if you and your pals weren't spending so much of your time digging for dirt on me.
