We had a lot of problems with spammers and bot attacks with the stock measures provided by the software. The 7 for registration was a fix that we came up with on our own that has worked quite well. Yes it is a PIA for both you and administration to put you onto your chosen username.
If you come back on and your login does not work retry with your username without the 7.

Thanks for joining us from the administration.

In my quest to find how to elevate the front Sight Post of my Carcano M91 Suprema, which was by all accounts, a long rifle at one time and cut down to carbine size, I followed a few suggestions and tried JB Weld Stick which is a clay like compound that is cylindrical in shape and pieces can be pulled off to the size needed. You can shape it like clay and its apoxy hardener is activated by squeezing and kneeding the portion used. It hardens in 10 to 15 minutes and then can be further shaped by light sandpaper or a fine file and then painted. I raised the front sight post approx. 3/16ths and now at 100yards and a Military 6 O'clock hold, I'm near center. With both Windage and front post sight adjustments this rifle is very accurate at 50 yards and good at 100 yards. For this type of rifle it's as good as you can expect, since the gain rifleing was cut off when the barrel was shortened. Thanks guys for your help.
Best Regards, Ron
