Willie,

Yes, I have had the barrel in the lathe just to check the fit.

I will have to shim the barrel at the back of the lathe spindle. I figure to make the shims from brass stock.


Thanks for the response.

This present sight is not dovetailed to the barrel and I am fairly certain I will apply the new sight the same way.

I am seeking a foolproof way of locating the new sight in proper alignment.

Any advice is much appreciated.
