Good feelin'................

[Bob Wright]

At our last range session, my friend Charles bemoaned the loss of the front sight on his Browning .22 pistol. I don't know the model, but he's had it near fifty years. Not too long back he lost a screw out of the rear sight, a windage adjusting screw. Replacement cost him $84.00, so he was a little unhappy. On a lark he stopped by the range and sure enough, some one had found it and turned it in. When he showed me the front sight blade, I told him I could fix it for him.

So, at coffee this morning, he brought me his gun and sight blade. I brought it home and found it took a 1/16" dia. x 1/4" long roll pin. Just so happened I had just bought an assortment of roll pins, or tension pins as the hardware store called them. A mite hard to handle, a 1/16" x 1/4" pin. I aligned the holes in the ramp and blade with a 1/16" dia. drill bit and inserted the pin, driving out the bit as I did so. Using a plastic faced mallet, drove the new pin in flush. Took all of maybe five minutes.

Sort of made me feel good, being able to help some body out like that. We'll shoot tomorrow.

It sure enough feels good to help folks out. That accounts of about 20% of my time, no charge, just helping out.
Great post, thanks!
Rare to hear about anymore.
