California's Central Coast Amid The Insanity
Well, what'a ya' know?!, I found a project.
In a post on another thread, I mentioned shimming the Blackhawk and Vaquero hammers to center them in their frames. When working on the Blackhawk I didn't polish the hammer sides to remove the scratches caused by it hitting the frame, like I did with the Vaquero. That was late last night and early this morning's project.
I bought the Blackhawk used, via Gunbroker, from some guy in Texas. He'd daubed white paint on the sights, doing a nice job putting two dots on the rear sight, but smeared the paint on the front and I removed it. I'm going to order Birchwood Casey's bright sight paints and see if I can improve sight acquision.
I should add a qualifier to my previous post:
Gun-related projects is what I've caught up on. The everyday house and yard chores and projects still need tending to, and mostly in the order which my wife prefers. My retirement side job still consumes about 10-hours per-week, depending on the seasons' weather.
