Sight installation near Franklin

[StPatrick]

I recently purchased a HiViz fiber-optic front sight for my Ruger MkIII Target (tapered 6 7/8" barrel), and need to find a reliable smith or layman with the ability to mount it for me. The sight is mated to the barrel with a very small (1/8" maybe...don't quote me) roll pin, and I don't have the tools to do it myself.

Your suggestions are kindly appreciated.

Thanks,

StPatrick

Try Tom Marker. He owns Lock, Stock & Barrel on Southeast Parkway (just off South Columbia near the new Target and Chili's).

Thanks for the heads-up, Chip. Tom turned it around fast, and I really enjoyed checking out the shop, too. I don't think I've ever seen so many antique pump-action rifles in one place.
