And for the snow & rain???

Not an option...The trees are much higher than my 2-story house...

You're 10 years too late to this problem...

The FAA would require me to put a flashing light on that tower...[First pic]...

Getting back to the barrel...Second pic shows the front sight blade shortened and rounded. I chose to copy the Colt Gold Cup blade profile, which has the front sight blade cut at a 1º angle.

Third pic shows the side and top view of the finished barrel, with Mauser carbine sight installed. At this time, I have not decided whether to shorten the rear sight leaf or leave it at the 1400 meter extent.

Fourth pic shows the barrel ready to install. The original barrel extension has been used on another project, so this barrel will be stored until such time as a suitable barrel extension and toggle train can be found.

Thank you for your comments and attention.
