This video examines a late-production Type 94 Nambu pistol, highlighting manufacturing shortcuts employed for rapid production. It details how the frame was milled from the outside, the exposed transfer bar, and the use of plates for guiding paths, often dovetailed, pinned, or welded. The breech block was bored through and then welded and ground to shape, demonstrating a focus on speed over traditional machining methods.

This guide details how to precisely adjust the windage of an M1A or M1 Garand's front sight. It involves calculating the required adjustment based on rear sight corrections, measuring the existing front sight overhang with calipers, and physically moving the front sight to a new, precise position. This is a permanent adjustment for ammunition changes, with field adjustments made via the rear sight.

This guide details the precise process of cutting a dovetail slot for a rifle sight using a milling machine, as demonstrated by Larry Potterfield of MidwayUSA. It emphasizes meticulous setup, including ensuring the barrel is perfectly level, and outlines the multi-pass machining technique required for a clean and accurate fit. The guide concludes with the proper method for installing the front sight.
