BC Dovetail filler
« on: July 27, 2005, 02:25:27 AM »
I'm probably gonna remove my front sight on my Buffalo Classic in favor of a scope, but that will leave a rather large and unsightly dovetail at the end of the barrel.

Does anyone make a dovetail filler block with set screw that closely matches the radius of the BC barrel?  Doesn't have to be exact, I can dremel/grind the filler down to the same radius as the barrel to make a smooth fit.

If you want it soon, get it from Brownell's.....they usually ship the same day and their shipping cost is as good as it gets!!

They also have a steel blank for a semi-permanent application.
