I need to make a cocking handle for my HW85. It was missing the sights when I bought it and I want to cover up those ugly grooves. Like you, I want to protect the barrel in case I get some original sights. <BR/>I thought about making one from sycamore since it looks a lot like the beech that my stock is made of. Plus, I have a HUGE sycamore tree that fell near my house during a severe storm this spring. I've been waiting for the kudzu to die off for the winter so I can get to it to cut it up and have it milled for lumber. I don't like to cut down live trees. I'd rather use one that has already run it's course.
