Hi Jim. Am I correct in assuming that you scratch-built the scope bases? They are a really nice touch.

kaboomI get a kick out of folks who think every gun posted on Accurate Arms should somehow fit THEIR own predilections. Beautiful work Jim.

Joe R. LockThe "widows peak" on the forend tip is also a nice touch and I'm sure was not an easy job. Great job. Absolutely perfect.

b0400879Jim,
A 4-year bump.
Could you please advise us re the front sight base utilised here:
Is it custom-made by yourself (my guess), or commercial/off-the-rack?
Many tnx & regards.

Jim KobeI made both bases from a piece of stock 3/4 x 1 x 1 1/2, mild steel bar stock.

There are two types of people in the world: those that get things done and those who make excuses. There are no others.

It appears that the poster was inquiring about the front sight base, not the front scope base.
It also appears that the front sight base may have been procured from New England Custom Guns.
