Seeing the pictures it now makes sense 👍🏻 thanks.
Ja, there are two dovetails at the muzzle of the D54, one that makes up the “ramp” on the front sight, and one cut into the actual metal of the barrel that the whole front sight fits onto.
I have no doubt that a fairly competente machinist like your self would make one up fairly easily.]]> Mon, 19 Aug 2024 06:51:27 +0000 www.kiwiairgunners.co.nz/forum_posts.asp?TID=1066&PID=10262#10262 S200 Trigger with dovetail : Interesting way of doing it.

Interesting way of doing it. You should have asked and i could have sent down a dovetail cutter which i have laying around doing nothing for the last 3 years lol. But you got the end result just the same. Nice work

So that trigger slides backward on a dove tail as opposed to pivoting around a point?

Pete, here's the trigger I made.

Used the mill to cut profile out of aluminium bar, then fixing at 45 deg in vice I used a 2 mm end mill to cut the dovetail on either side of the main channel.

Put a cut down centre and threaded in a cap screw for clamping. Ta da!

Still needs polishing, but much better than the brass one that it had, as it now has ridges that I can feel with my finger.

So a similar method can be used to make a front mounted ghost ring if you have a dovetail to mount to. That trigger blade is 10 mm wide, so nice and small.
