Octagon barrel is great for finding centers
With a little electrician's tape to protect the finish, a small vise clamped to the vertical facets creates a wall on each side of the sight, allowing for centering the sight by having each side of the sight identical as measured with a caliper. Same for finding center for drilling and tapping needs.

There are two kinds of guns. Those I have acquired, and those I hope to.

Re: Octagon barrel is great for finding centers
Not all barrels are created equal and sometimes the bores are not central to the flats, especially with older barrels. Easy to check with a dial calipers at the muzzle.

Re: Octagon barrel is great for finding centers
True. I had written that, then decided not to include it. I was working on an H003T Henry, had checked the centering of the bore and failed to explain that. Thanks for the interest.
