I saw on the other thread that the carbine match got rained out. Any plans to make it up?
I've got mine back together and fairly well cleaned, just have to restake the rear sight and test fire it a bit some time this week. One thing I noticed: You can't use a regular size centerpunch to restake it; not enough room. I bought a small (3/32") pin punch that I'm going to grind a point on to do the staking job. The shank of it is skinny enough to get into the proper position for restaking.
