I know, it doesn't make any economic sense whatever to sink money into one of these, but I dearly love the design and have since I was a kid.
With advancing age I just can't get good enough definition on the factory front blade anymore to get the hits anywhere near as consistently as I used to. I've tried the Merit disc, etc. to try and get around the problem without much success. Installing FO replacements on several of my other rifles has helped enormously and I'd really like to try that on my favorite M62.
The problem, as you all probably already know, is that Rossi uses a weird, oversized dovetail cut with an odd included angle. Makes a simple direct replacement pretty much out of the question.
Sure would appreciate suggestions on how to accomplish this in the least "Bubba-like" fashion.
Am I going to have to seek out a truly wizard TIG welder and machinist, or is there a better way?
