I could try a shortened Mauser tangent sight; I'm putting one on my Luger long-barrel. I have a spare. It would sit higher, so I'd have to change the front sight, meaning re-machining the barrel. And having it re-re-finished.

Too much work.

I don't consider it 'fun'; it's more occupational therapy. A bit of thought, a little creativity, some improvisation of resources...A way to keep my wits sharp...Or at least less dull...

A photo tent and a better camera might be helpful...
I have snow 6 months of the year, plus high winds, rain, and changing light patterns from trees losing foliage. My house is surrounded by the trees. A tent is too much trouble. My picnic table (which is only used by sunbathing dogs) is my studio. If I get the energy (plus $$$) I'll get a sheet of plywood and cut it into sections 2' x 3' and paint them light pastel colors for a background.

That sounds like work too. I have adopted Maynard G. Krebs's philosophy about work.
