I think the front is not bad, but the rear is likely to get knocked off in the woods.

WOW!
looks like we need a "Builds gone Wild" or "When Bubba gets drunk and thinks he is a gunsmith" thread.

That project went a long way to eff up a rifle in my opinion he just could have put a folding peep sight on the original. I do give him props for dogged determination to go FULL ELVIS and do it "My WAY".

It is an interesting demonstration in what could be done in a home workshop with materials at hand.

My grandfather was pretty good at that - he made and installed a pretty decent peep sight on a Marlin bolt action .22 that I used for years. Much better quality than in the article.

But other stuff (non-firearm things) he made were obviously just rigged to work well enough to get the job done. He was very thrifty, lived through the depression and back when there were not a lot of gunsmiths that were craftsmen. It got the job done.

As someone once said, "Necessity is the mother of invention." So it's great to see someone pushing the envelope...just go easy on the drilling with any of the good stuff
