Home Forums Hunting & Shooting BPCR ding rear sight - fixable?

OK, regarding the heartbreak of unsightly and embarrassing "Lever Droop", Here's a quick look at the mods that can bring a worn, stretched link back into adjustment. Oversized pins should be fitted, if required,...but are not completely mandatory.

This repair is particularly applicable to relines that are not going to see a "Set Back", which makes for a real PITA requiring retaining screw relocation and deepening what may be a perfectly good extractor cut. Cutting a 44 or 44 1/2 small bore extractor cut PROPERLY requires a milling vice in a lathe, and a fairly substantial angle plate / fixture holding it. This cut CANNOT be done (properly) in a knee mill.

Some pics of the repair.

Remember,....We want to move the pin holes APART



With the link "spread", and VERY lightly tacked, assemble and test for that desirable mild "Snap" as the lever travels it's last 1/4 inch to hitting the tang.



Once you've got things about where you want em' weld the thing off, and after final fitting and polishing (not pictured) ....don't forget the Kasinit.



Here's a SLICK way to get a fine trigger pull on a hammer that's had it's sear notch cut to deep by Bubba and Co. That's a piece of O-1 drill rod in condition A,...JB welded into a hole cut with a carbide tool. Sneak up on your reduction and polishing this "Stand Off", and enjoy life, when through. Note that all the re-welding, filing, squaring and basic fitment has been finished, and the part Case hardened / Kasinit immersed,...prior to gluing in that pin. Final adjustment is confined to the trigger sear nose.
