Cutter T-1 is the most delicate of thelot, and I've been told by some 'smithsthat they break similar cutters (for the elevationnut T-slot) with distressing regularity.In this regard, Trapper assures me thatthe cutter he furnishes is of the best qualityand that he obtains dozens ofjobs fromeach end. But, he tells us, a good, solid setupand very careful use is necessary to obtainthat life. Slow feed, 700-900 rpm,keep the chips cleaned out, and watchwhat you're doing. Trapper has fittedseveral sights for me with these cutters,and all the cuts look and work fine.Price of the four-cutter set, each in itsown compartment in a wood box, is$64.50 net. Sets and replacement cuttersare in stock for rapid delivery. If you'vebeen turning down those $50 sight jobsfor lack of proper cutters, now is the timeto change. It won't take very many suchjobs to wipe out the cost of the cutter set.Trapper also now offers a kit for installingcolored inserts in front sights. It consistsof material for dozens of inserts indifferent colors, a special dovetail millingcutter, and an instruction sheet. The cutto be made is light, so even a drill pressand compound table will allow you to installfront-sight inserts; a milling machineisn't needed. This cutter, too, is doubleendedfor long life, but the probability ofbreakage is very lowwith a proper setup.IÑÑÑÃ1 pistol.PampervowSmithCarry & Wesson it in a~remium aualitv Model 22 Lined Holster.ere's a tough hide with a tender heart.
