The ramp, closer:

the other side, open. I won’t blue it till spring.

Yesterday I carved a big slot in my right index finger. Today I poked a hole in the left middle fingeropening a light bulb blister pack. I was opening the pack, because a week ago, I replaced a headlight in the Sploder. Instead of buying two bulbs, one of which I invariable lose long before the other bulb dies, I bought one

Now the other bulb burned. So I bought a blister pack of two, since two were only $1 more than ONE. And I put the spare, blood and all, into the glovebox.

Next to the other three half blister packs. And the tube of patent roid medicine that I just replaced.

Been a good day.

The Arisaka I’ve been playing with for some time now is nearing the end of the line, project wise.

I found a nice three leaf express sight, and removed the funky and cheap Williams sight. The express sight wasn’t going to fit, given its original octagon-barrel base, so I ended up making a ramp to park it on the Ari. Here’s a picture:

I patterned the ramp after the classic Rigby rifles in size, though I don’t have the abilty to make the graceful curves the size and shape is basically the same. I had to buy a little dovetail cutter to fit the sight in. Sorry about the crappy quality of the picture, my camera sucks at close range.

Now all I need to do is silver solder it down, regulate and file the sight, and blue the whole thing. A little stock sanding and some boiled linseed oil and it will be a fine, handsome, serviceable rifle.

all the KOS kids, all the HuffBlow morons, all the rest of them out fearmongering:

Don’t sweat it. If killing you would have fixed this, you would all already be dead.

Just saying.
