It's nice to know that Shootaway would never own a trash pre-war English Double and start whittling on it with a dremel.

Shootaway, your comments are predictable as usual. First, you claim you can file the sight down and fix the "problem"...I don't think that is the problem. If you aren't a gun smithing genius, why are you doing this? Tell me it doesn't take a genius to solve your problems...I need a laugh.

Second, you claim you aren't a gun smithing genius but a shooting genius. Don't you think you should display some of that shooting genius in your "Predictable Accuracy" thread so we can have a point of reference for this claim? You say it, but I think you aren't what you claim to be.

Last, all of us here on the board shoot and have experience. Probably not the same experiences as you. You'd be surprised at who has put animals in the record books and how many hunters live in Alaska. These people are hunters, shooters and good people...not blow hards like you. For example, most folks on the board wouldn't be rattled like you were when someone insinuated that was you in the dress traipsing around in the woods. They would laugh it off.

I think you tipped your hand when you over-reacted.

Matt

I'd like to see results from a session of shooting the same ammunition.
Also, shootaway try wipe-out copper solvent.
It's amazing

Shootaway, are you not using the loads that Butch regulated the rifle with?

Tell me it ain't so.

That is surestrike the beefcake.

Yes,I am using the loads the rifle was regulated with.

I ordered some 380 loctite for the rear sight.

Just scope the rifle - all rifles should be scoped. Everyone just shoots better with a scoped rifle.

So much easier to sight in and you don't have to file down anything.

Dont tell people how to live their life.You are a lady or what? Does your wife beat you up?

Shootaway:
May I ask how you "rate" this double of yours:

the best there ever is and was
excellent
fine
average
below average
garbage
piece of shit

You have seen my rifles, and I'd appreciate you rating them, also. Give me your reasoning, too. This way I may be able to pick up a few hints how to properly look for a double for my next purchase.
Thanks, mate.

I just checked the front sight bead I filed down and it turns out that that did nothing because the screw will only lift it up to its original height.
That explains me getting the same POI.I need a new front sight bead.

No... What you need is medical help for "Dork'ism"

try demel tool. grind the top of both barrels to raise the poi

I would say you have concentrated too much on your taint and your elevation is still suffering severely. Since you know everything...you already know that.

Did you realize that if you are filing on the base of the removable front sight that it is still pushed up by the detent ball and spring? Your filing won't make a difference. Now you absolutely know everything that you know. I think you are a Newfie!

Matt

Glad to see you figured out all on your own that filing the front sight was getting you nowhere.

Now about that Dremel!

I realize that this may strain your brain, BUT,

If that's the best there ever was,, And it shot great when it left Butch's shop... What's so different?

A. The temperature?

B. The elevation?

C. The loads?

D. The loose nut behind the triggers?

D?

No guess on that one.

In person next week at Dallas, I risk my fragile ego here with George telling me (and it seems everyone else who has offered a suggestion) that I do not know fuck all about double guns. You did know I was sensitive, right
I thought he might take it better from Butch.

WILCO. See you then!

I just spoke to Butch about the sight bead and he said he will get them out tomorrow and asked me to call him in the morning.

Best make real sure you have that rear sight in the proper place using Loctite 380. Only way to loosen it is with direct heat. I don't think you would like the result of that.

Blue Loctite is more than adequate.

Matt

Butch may be in for a very long ride. What can he possibly tell him that he doesn't already know?

Damn I missed all this entertainment . Thank goodness for a delayed flight.

Hey Larry - You really haven't missed much... Only what happens when the gene pool is left unattended...

JDA-CO

The gene pool is shallow on both ends here and needs a chlorine treatment in the worst way.

Mike said he saw a Baby Ruth candy bar in the pool a la "Caddyshack."

Butch will be dealing with Baby Ruth tomorrow.


Matt

Matt - You know Butch is reading these threads thinking: "What the hell have I done!".

I feel bad for Butch, in this case. It took shootaway less than 48 hours to pull out the heavy equipment.

Like I stated earlier: By the time this is all said and done, that DR will look like a cuban taxicab... AND, we'll all still be wrong.

The sadistic part of me is enjoying watching shootaway create his own special little cluster-f-ck...

All good in Colorado... I'm a long ways away from where he is...

I think we should give shootaway the "2013 AR Entertainer of the Year" award!

Mike, you are mistaken. You have Honey Doo Doo confused with Honey Boo Boo.

Well this is a first, I have never known or heard of anyone fileing a bead down. If you file down a front sight it must be a partridge such as the NECG gold faced partridge otherwise you end up with a half moon Ivory sight picture or most likely a skinny stem...

To perform such an act is akin to sodomy, and one should be gilflurted and stringhaultered for such. But to each his own so

Searcys come with a round silver bead. He said he filed it from the bottom, which is a bad idea too as it will make the dovetail loose. Fortunately, they are also held in with a little setscrew.

I have to say, with all of the headaches Smack is giving me over shipping my damn barrel, etc, that this thread has helped me retain my sanity and sense of humor.

There was a saying when I was a young man: "no matter how down in the dumps and stupid you feel, try to cheer up. Somewhere down the line in this world, there is a bigger doofus/idiot than you."

I always wondered what about that last guy in the line. How does he exist knowing he is the ultimate "F--ktard*". Now I know.

*The words F--king and Retard combine to create a new word coined by the younger generation. It represents that guy at the end of the line.

Have to agree on "Most entertaining thread of 2013". Sure beats Saeed and Shakari going round and round and round and round and round, bashing SCI on the African fourm. Is there some kind of trophy or award for this honor?

I will settle for cash.

I called Butch and we both agreed that the lower POI is probably caused by the extreme difference in temperature between California and Quebec.Got a lower sight bead on the way!
