Anybody removed the iron sights from a Blaser R8 barrel?

How much trouble is it shipping a barrel from Canada? Probably not as difficult as a complete rifle.

Yeah, gun parts is the same as guns to the US. Oddly enough, Canada is much more chill about gun parts and components coming in or going out-- all the approvals and hassle is on the US side.

While I recognize the value in iron sights for many types of hunting I just don't see myself needing or using them in the foreseeable future. Plus, I always seem to get that front sight hung up on something when I'm trying to move quickly.

I don't have a good gunsmith nearby so I'd like to do this myself if possible/prudent.

Thanks for any advice, Allan
Have you considered a cover similar to a rubber sleeve? It's something to keep it from binding up in your gun slip but can be removed when needed. A lot easier than adding/removing iron sights. I wish all my R8 barrels had open sights. Good luck!
 
What would a new gun rack cost you? That proprietary finish that makes that rifle more durable than stainless isn't going to react to barrel butchery well.

I saw where you hunted elephant with backcountry safaris in Zimbabwe.
Was looking to book an elephant hunt and wanted to know how your hunt went
and if you would recommend them.

Thanks

hi, do you know about lions hunters, leopard hunters, and crocodiles hunters of years 1930s-1950s
I'm new to Africa Hunting. I would like to purchase a Heym 450-400 double rifle. I'm left-handed but would prefer a non-canted gun. Is anyone in the community considering parting with theirs?
