Well, I had my new-to-me 6906 (I date it to around 1994 based on the VAN start of the serial) to the range and it ran well through a box of PPU 124 gr. FMJ (after I did a basic strip and clean up).
Just finished a very deep clean and a bit of light polishing on the draw bar and it runs a bit smoother. I never, ever should have sold that one I did back a few years ago.
But the sights are a bit of a mess. See pics.
Wondering if anyone can point me to a good YouTube on how to change out non-Novak style 3 dots on a 6906? I'll also be looking for new sights to replace the old ones and any suggestions as to what kind folks prefer would be appreciated.
Normally I'd take the gun to my smith for new sights, but am feeling adventurous and would like to master that bit of repair work. (And if I screw it up I can always take it to the smith.)
And then there's the pencil etching on the left side of the frame. Still haven't written to the dealer who sold it to me, but will after I finish this.
If anyone recognizes what's on the picture, I'd appreciate it.
