You'll need to use Photobucket or another hosting service, direct attachment of photos has been disabled because it poses a major security risk to the board. 1

WillScarlet Posted March 27, 2013 Posted March 27, 2013 That's interesting, how did you make the sights?
coolboxx Posted March 27, 2013 Author Posted March 27, 2013 BRILLANT !..........Harv thx Harv That's interesting, how did you make the sights? It was a headache tryied a few ways but this seemed easiest .2 wire wrapped round a small drill bit then stretched spru layed on first cross hair and dabbed with plastic weld glue tack stuck then layed on second cross hair again glued just tack hold then with a drip of super glue on a piece of .2 wire touched on where the spru touched the wire then trimmed off the spru, you could push the cross hair into the wire circel with the plastic weld glue softening the spru. told you is was a headache... 1
Administrators James H Posted March 27, 2013 Administrators Posted March 27, 2013 Wow, just off the hook! I think I'd be inclined to more WWI stuff if you guys weren't doing this type of work and giving me a major inferiority complex! I'll just go back in the corners and play with my 109's....
