Adjusting The Sights On A M1905 Target .38 Special

Now that I have one which I posted about.

How does one adjust the sights for windage?

Do you unscrew both left and right windage screws, move the sight blade to the desired position, and then screw back in both screws?

I want to be careful on this as the screw slots are small, as is the screws.

Don't want to mess up my sixgun.

Move in half turns or full turns, depending how far off you are.

If you need to move left, loosen the left screw 1/2 or a full turn, or two, etc.
Immediately snug the right screw up firmly.
The blade can literally fall out, so keep them snug at all times- loosen one, snug the other.

"Get a little bitty hammer......"

And whack the doggie firmly between his eyeballs.

hand ejector, you made me laugh!!

Thanks for the info.

So......the Marine went into the chain saw store to buy something to cut wood with as he was tired of the ax routine.

Salesman said: "This thing will cut a cord a wood in about 1/4 the time you can with an ax."

The Marine said, "I'll take it."

Several days later the Marine came back into the store. Filthy dirty, clothes ragged, and mad!

"You said this thing would cut a cord faster than an ax. Baloney!! It took me all day!!"

The salesman said perplexed, "Let's check it out."

So he grabbed the cord, pulled it, and the chainsaw started right up.

The Marine said, "What's that sound?"

I just have to throw this out here.

An old Sailor and an old Marine were sitting at the VFW arguing about who'd had the tougher career.

"I did 30 years in the Corps," the Marine declared proudly, "and fought in three of my country's wars. Fresh out of boot camp, I hit the beach at Okinawa, clawed my way up the blood-soaked sand, and eventually took out an entire enemy machine gun nest with a single grenade. As a sergeant, I fought in Korea alongside General MacArthur. We pushed back the enemy inch by bloody inch, all the way up to the Chinese border, always under a barrage of artillery and small arms fire. Finally, as a Gunny Sergeant, I did three consecutive combat tours in Vietnam. We humped through the mud and razor grass for 14 hours a day, plagued by rain and mosquitoes, ducking under sniper fire all day, and mortar fire all night. In a firefight, we'd fire until our arms ached and our guns were empty, then we'd charge the enemy with bayonets!"

"Ah," said the Sailor with a dismissive wave of his hand, "Lucky *******! All shore duty, eh?"

D R Greysun,

So true!

My Father did fight at Okinawa with the 6th MarDiv.

Years later, when I was in high school he knew I wanted to be a Marine too.

He was working a construction job and told me they had a couple of former Vietnam Marines working with him.

I asked, "Did they see combat?"

He said, "No, they drove trucks."

I said, "That what they told you?"

He said, "No, they tell too many war stories."

I learned a valuable lesson.

Since then I have met so many "combat vets", "cia", "top-secret", "Green Berets", and "Seals" who "fought" in Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia, and "If I told you I'd have to kill you." places in SE Asia.

It's a shame because they were a lot of men and 8 women who did die in that war and many of who fought and survived in some of the most vicious combat ANY Veteran of the U.S. ever fought in.

But.............I went of topic.

Back to topic.

You know why the sailors have Marines on board ship?

So the sailors can have someone to dance with.

You know why they have sheep on board ship?

So the Marines can have someone to dance with.

BUT.........

It is true the Marines are a department of the navy.......................

But it's the MEN'S Department!!

You know why Marines call sailors squids?

It's because the sailors are lower than whale poop in the bottom of the ocean.
