Thanks, i need to change out the front post, its a Marble and supposedly push from right to left as the dovetail is tapered... according to Marble. I did get it to move with a brass drift, but its really tight. I may need to get a tool. I have some plastic posts from Williams that i think I can use to determine the height. Once i get the sights dialed in, i will decide if it needs a barrel. I would be surprised if it grouped, based on how it looks to me. I may cast the chamber so i can measure the throat.


For those without thumbs, it's s Garden fookin Island, not Hawaii
