My buddy Ken showed up for tacos with a story and a trophy. He has recently acquired another carbine, a plain-Jane, mostly Winchester, arsenal rebuild. Coincidentally he concocted 100 unremarkable hand loads with GI brass, 110 FMJs, and 2400 powder. The Winchester threw them all over the section. A little investigation revealed an Uncle Wiggly rear sight which could not be snugged down by peening.
Enter epoxy. No home is complete without it it.
With the sight chemically bonded to the receiver of the WW2 relic, he shot five rounds over a rest at 35 yards. He tucked the result in his wallet and, last evening, produced it as the beer was being served . The group was coverable by a quarter, and I don't care if it was only 35 yards. That's impressive.

was the epoxy JB Weld?
Does Fred the Fixer approve?
Naah. Around here JBW is reserved for engine blocks and intake manifolds. He had some of that useful hardware store stuff that comes in the handy twin tubes.
Fred wouldn't associate with the likes of us.
