Blank canvas, ideas requested.....

Even though Rugged Rob got the best of me in a deal over an old worn out Rossi three five seven, I have enjoyed shooting this little carbine and am at a point to maybe tune it up a bit.

It is a pre-safety 20" that has gone quite bright purple on the hammer, mag tube and other small parts. As always, it shoots high with all loads and needs a taller front sight (or lower rear sight).

What to do?

For less than $20.00 and a call to Brownells I can get a lower rear sight to just drift into the dovetail and call it good and try to wear it out.

Or get creative. And there in lies the question.

Should I cut it down to 16" and smooth it up just like my old Daisy Red Rider? Full length with globe front/tang rear? Threaded barrel for a can?

My friend Regan Nonneman is down the road and ready to go to work with anything I want.

Thoughts, please.
