What Happened To That Project?

You might note that, in recent pics, my Krag doesn't have the rear peep sight I talked about installing a while ago.

Bubba, while he did a good job converting a rifle to a deer-slaying carbine, used a commercial front and rear sight set up.

The Williams sight assumes you've still got the issue military front sight, which is much taller than any commercial blade.

The HEL-E4A project is languishing because of a lack of lathe and skill to work said lathe.

I can hire both, but I'd need to seriously clean up my drawings so that I get what I want instead of what the machinist thinks I want from the drawings I have now.

The semi-auto STEN idea got nuked by the utter lack of 922r compliance parts for an otherwise very doable project from fairly available and affordable parts.

    I've seen a front sight blade on a Krag locally that someone made from cutting a copper penny to serve. Looks functional.
