Yes, Claude then remembered that the agreed seven days had passed. So he apologized to Ericson and wouldn't go to his dock to help him today. He turned around and called a carriage to go to the Big Hammer Blacksmith Shop in the south of the town.

Then Claude found that his three companions had already boarded the carriage, preparing to follow them to learn more about what exactly this crosshair sight was that Claude had spent a huge sum of one silver thaler and seven riyals to build. stuff

Just go, it's so rare and strange. The four of them went to Big Hammer together. When Boss Mike saw Verricro and Claude coming, he consciously took out the crosshair sight that he had already built.

I have to say that even though Boss Mike is a tall and thick man, his craftsmanship is really good. The well-made front sight is dark and the corners are polished smooth and round, and it feels very comfortable to touch.

Claude paid attention to the large size and the straightness of the center pin. He borrowed Boss Mike's measuring tool to measure it and found that there was no deviation from the size given to him. Claude showed a satisfied smile and thanked Boss Mike.

Boss Mike also breathed a sigh of relief. For custom-made parts like this, you have to pay first. What he was worried about was that the customer who ordered the product would be dissatisfied when it came out, and even said that what he wanted was not like this. Although there is no need to worry about the guests denying the drawings, it is better to do less than to do more. Especially the second generation like Claude who has the support of his parents is the most difficult to serve.

Bosses Claude and Mike greeted each other. One expressed satisfaction with Big Hammer's craftsmanship and technology, and the other thought that if a generous customer like Claude comes to visit more often in the future, Big Hammer will definitely give him a very affordable price. s price. After talking nonsense for a long time, Claude said goodbye and walked out of the courtyard gate of the Big Hammer Blacksmith Shop with his companions.

Ericson said that it would be better for Claude to go home and get the gun first, and then go to his dock to try whether this thing is as useful as Claude has boasted these days.

Although it is the private dock of the Erikson family, firing a gun there might accidentally injure someone. After all, it is surrounded by stone houses and wooden shacks. People come and go in the alley, and there are A market so Claude shook his head

"Are you stupid? My dock is by the lake. Wouldn't you shoot into the lake? How could anyone be hurt there?" Erikson said angrily.

"But there's no place to put a target in the lake," Bock'al hadn't yet reacted.

"What kind of target do you want? Get a piece of wood and throw it into the lake. If it floats on the water, wouldn't it be a target? You wooden head?"

Erickson is right, it's a good idea. So the four of them took the carriage to the big red brick house of Claude's house. After Claude went up to the attic to get the matchlock gun and gunpowder, he took the carriage to the private dock of Erikson's house.

Bokhar, who paid the carriage fare of four sunars, was the slowest and was caught by the coachman. Anyway, as soon as the carriage stopped, Claude, Verricro and Erikson all jumped off the carriage and ran to the dock. Bockaar didn't react. He originally wanted everyone to pay for their Sunar. car money

Bockar complained about the lack of loyalty of his companions and muttered as he entered the dock. He saw Claude putting the crosshair sight on the muzzle of his gun, while Erikson and Verricro looked on.

After smearing some butter on the outside of the barrel at the muzzle of the gun, Claude successfully put the sight on the barrel. It was fixed with a screw on the casing under the center of the gun barrel. Make a hole and screw it in with a screw to hold it against the barrel to fix the crosshair sight. But before fixing it, Claude had to align the center pin on the sight with the central axis of the barrel.

After fixing the entire crosshair sight, the next thing Claude had to adjust was the crosshair pin. Because the rear aiming hole is on the plate cover of the pill box instead of the normal rear sight crankshaft adjustment device, Claude can only put the idea of distance aiming adjustment on the sight pin.

This alignment pin is divided into five parts, the bottom is thickest and then becomes thinner as it goes up, just like a stretched casing, one by one. There is no way, Claude has calculated that the highest point of this aiming needle is higher than the aiming point on the disc cover.
