Nice , Looks like a Sig Legal now to shoulder that puppy without dealing with the ATF for a SBR permit.
Novi 23 finally launched !

Yes Sir, It's a lot of fun. I have a binary trigger for it but I haven't done the install yet. Sighted about an 1 1/2" high at fifty yards. That gives me a "flat" hold to about 87 yards. That's all a 9mm will do for the most part.

Thanks for the motivation Glossie! I was sitting at the house thinking I wouldn't mess with this today but your post got me moving.glossieblack wrote: ↑Mon Jul 03, 2017 5:37 am Looking forward to pics of the primer touch ups and the graphite bottom.
As I had said there were areas I was not happy with. This is on of them. After repairing the fillet from the bad batch I made I proceeded to do a really crappy job of sanding this part of the fillet. I've worked to hard on this to allow anything not to meet my standards. So I refilled the fillet and sanded it out again. This time I am ok with it. Note the PVC pieces, I pulled the fillet with the larger size. Then I sand with a single layer on it. After that I sand with the smaller size. Last I feather the ends with paper wrapped around my index finger. It works pretty well.
Before sanding.
After.
Pin hole area before.
After, Just knocked the highs off. I'll be sanding the entire transom and all above the waterline with 120 to prep for two more coats of primer.
I started sanding the bottom (1 coat only) to prep for graphite. I'm using a 5" R.O. sander with 120 grit paper. I've also set the R.O. to it's slowest speed.
Then I hand sand the strakes and after I block sand everything with a medium sponge sander. I'm only working a foot or so at a time.
I'm going to get back on it, I've got to head to the house after while to make a couple of peach cobblers for the family get together tomorrow!
It's always fun, we cook a Frogmore stew, make ice cream and after dark filled the sky with fireworks!!!

My local post office was "Frogmore SC" before the damn Yankees forced it to be renamed St Helena Island.
