PROJECT MVP - TACTI-COOL BUILD SERIES PART 1
For Project MVP we are taking a factory Mossberg MVP 5.56mm bolt action rifle and tricking it out to be the envy of any MVP fan. We start above with two Mossberg MVP rifles as they come from the factory.
Get a Bigger Hammer - Gunsmith
It is never a good idea to get a bigger hammer when doing any gunsmithing!
BEWARE OF THE INEXPERIENCED
Not all gunsmiths have the same level of experience or work ethic. This customer had a local gunsmith install his brand new set of XS 24/7 Big Dot sights on his brand new Stainless Steel Springfield Armory XD. The smith made several errors that made for a nasty final product.
SPOT THE SHODDY WORK
The smith installed the sights and returned the pistol to the owner and took the payment for the job. Later on in the day the XD owner took the gun out to look at his brand new sights and to his horror finally noticed the damage to the slide.
USE EPOXY TO GLUE YOUR SIGHTS IN PLACE?
This person's quick fix was to epoxy the loose sight in place and hope that it would not move under recoil. While this seems like a good idea, things can go wrong and they did.
