sight hole drilled too deep into bore

Doing a bit of gunsmithing on a Remington 760, getting ready to send it in to Black Ice coatings to get the metalwork including the original 30-06 barrel and a second JES rebored .35 Whelen barrel coated in their teflon treatment.

What did you get yourself for Christmas?

McBride’s Guns in central Austin, the gun shop I grew up in, recently sold and will change ownership in February. Sad days for me… Many hours I’ve spent in that shop and around the McBride family.

I drove down this morning with a card and some treats for Joe and see if I could find a fitting gun to make as my last purchase before the new owners take over. Came home with a used Taylor’s Uberti Winchester Model ‘66 in .38 Special, with scabbard. Should be a ton of fun to shoot...
