"Built-Up" Pacific Arms Carbine...

Hello Mauro,

Glad you enjoyed seeing the P-A grip discs. I cannot believe the maker of this "carbine" was able to find four (4) of these rare discs...two for the pistol grips and two for each side of the stock...

The detail and condition of these discs was remarkable for their age. I have seen a "repro" disc once...but it really lacked the fine detail that I saw in these P-A discs. Maybe the repro's are/were made by creating a wax-casting of original discs...and in the process some of the fine detail is lost...

Hello John F.,

Thanks for the info. on the Lyman sights. When I held this pistol with its stock attached, the peep hole looked very large in reference to the front sight (which I think is called a gold marble bead type...), the peep hole appeared to be a very large ring with a very small front sight bead in the foreground. Sort of like looking at a nickle through a 6" diameter ring... I thought the peep hole sight could have been improved with a set of cross-hairs...maybe with fine gold wires...

Regards,

Pete... <img border="0" alt="[typing]" title="" src="graemlins/yltype.gif" />
