Got any pictures for this step, this is by far my biggest gripe on mine

Man, I’ve missed your work and write-ups. They’re really interesting and well done! Thanks for posting!
Thanx for these fixes !
My 20" 44 musta been built on a good day and was quite a nice change over the 357 that was my first R92.
The 357 was a beast to load ! The gate area was super sharp and rounds had to go in just right or get pinched. The mag spring was the same length as the 20" rifle, so trimming off a few inches helped a little.

I bought my 44 16" stainless 12 years ago and bought Steve's parts. Swapped out the goofy safety for the peep sight option and replaced the plastic follower with the metal. Replaced the front sight with a F/O front. I rarely hunt with a gun but I do love carrying the little gun while checking cameras and easing around the woods. Always wanted to find someone who could smooth up the action a little. I took it apart once and tried hitting any sharp edges with a stone. Seemed grittier when I got done, so stopped. lol
The work shown here won't "smooth" it as such. That's stone and polish work.
But for someone with very limited funds or just wanting a friendlier working rifle, this helps a lot and is achievable by everybody.

I don't care much for steves, or skinners similar for marlin, bolt mounted peep sights. They are pretty much sling swivels sold at $66+ last I looked. Coarse threads for not very helpful range/load adjustments and no windage.
But, if you look around, for $10 or less, way back when, and still available now, there was a grand option.
Marbles Adjustable Front Sights. Windage and tons of elevation. And suits the rifle better than picatinny rails, dot thingies or perhaps even a scope.....
