Here's the Chiappa mini-Sharps with scope

and without

The mounting blocks are still on the barrel, and the ring with the stripped threads is on its way to be repaired.

I've had this for several years now, and I've had two problems.  First, in the rear sight base, there's a screw that tensions the spring that holds the ladder up or down.  The screw stripped.  I couldn't figure out what thread pitch it was, or find something that size to try, so I tapped the spring for a larger size, dressed the head appropriately, and blued it.  End of that one.

The second, I was firing one day, worked the lever, and instead of moving open and staying there, it flopped.  First thought was "Crap, the spring broke."  Happily, no.  Here there's a spring under the forend that tensions the spring that the lever works against; the head of that screw stripped.  Apparently the head was a bit small for the pressure involved, and it finally broke.  There I was able to find a screw with both matching thread(yes, it was metric, and Ace Hardware) and a wider, stronger head.  No problems since.

I like it.  It's fun to shoot, accurate, and out to 100 yards or so- with appropriate ammo- I'd have no problem using it for deer(lighter loads for smaller stuff).
