I need some help...

Post by stevie_d_64 »

I cannot for the life of me find anyone with the tool(s) to get a Williams Firesight set on a lever action rifle...

I have tried ProDefense down towards NASA, and got snubbed (thats ok, no big deal...They only really do the sexy guns)...

Ed Vandenburg, is hard to get a hold of in the last day or so...And that ok too, I'll still go to him with real problems...He's probably busier then a one-legged man in a butt kicking contest...

Is there anyone, anybody knows, who is within 20-30 minutes tops of Beltway 8 and the Gulf Freeway that I can run this rifle and sight set over to and get it installed this evening???

There is not really too much of a rush, but I just want to get this done and move on...

I'd give it a go, but I do not have that nifty tool that'll slide and center that booger on there...And there are no instructions with the set that'll make sure I don't forget something...

I defer to the knowledge base here...

New member "Mr.ZeroG" might know, and might have the tool, but he's 4 1/2 hours away, and I gotta go to school tomorrow...And I have a test!!! :lol:

Did you talk to Travis at the Texas City range? He sights in rifles for hunters.

Jim-
I agree 100% that Travis is good people and very helpful, but they are only available Thursday-Sunday. That is a great suggestion that I would have never thought of. Have a great evening.

Thanks. They actually work Tuesday and Wednesday when the range is closed (at least they say they do :grin:).

I belive Brownells.com sells the tool to do it yourself if so inclined. :grin:

the sight tool at the Texas City range isn't much good, like Jason said try Frank at Shooter's Corner, if he can't do it T's Gun's and Ammo has a good sight tool.
