Hello
What is the way you use to hold the front sight, in the correct location, while you silver solder it in place, ???. I find this the most cumbersome of all the work when installing front sights, on muskets and carbines. At present I use an old metal clamp. If I don't use the clamp, the torch will blow the sight off the bbl, and micro, or pensil torches don't get hot enough. Same with bayonette lugs. I need some Of you-alls ideas, and help/input on this.
Thanks Rebel Dave aka Dave C.
