    Sight formula

    Way back when, I was doing some reading and came across a formula that would give an approximate height of the front and rear sights after plugging in a couple of variables. I'm thinking that the variables were the distance between the sights, thickness of the barrel. Does anyone know what I'm...

    polishing the Octagon

    I am working on a custom barrel that is to be blued. When I get the barrel it is rough enough to have to be filed because the flats are rounded. Once I get the flats flat, I use a stone from my Lansky sharpening kit to work out the filing marks and then subsequent finer stones from the same...
