Title: Front Sight
Post by: Twowithone on December 30, 2014, 08:21:00 PM
My front sight moves quite a bit I discovered today at the range. How do you tighten this up. Its a Lyman GPR 54 cal Flintlock. Thanks. 8)

Dimple in the dovetail a little bit with a center punch.  No need to get carried away, just want to move a little bit of metal to make the dovetail a little snugger.

Shot well today loaded everything up and went home. After cleaning barrel noticed my back sight was gone aw crap Im thinking check gun sock its on the bottom of sock. So I guess I have to dimple both front and rear sights. Once you get the sights right she shoots good. 8)
