This video demonstrates the precise hand-filing technique for cutting a sight dovetail, specifically for a Beech front sight on an octagon barrel for a Custer's Rolling Block rifle replica. It details the layout process using Dyken Steel Blue and a scribe, the initial cutting to a 0.090-inch depth with a standard file, and the crucial use of a safe-edge dovetail file for undercuts. The final steps involve fitting the sight and using a brass punch and hammer to seat it properly.
