Black powder kits are fun and easy, but i think you would be bored with one. It sounds like you have some basic skills and knowledge already, and most blackpowder kits are designed for people with little to no experience. Projects I give our shop apprentice: Stock refinishing (easy to do, hard to do well. big money maker), polishing with draw files, sandpaper, and polishing wheels (another huge money maker. takes lots and lots of practice, but little skills more than patience), AR15 builds (not incredibly cheap, but damn near impossible to fuck up if you take your time and do your research) Sight installation (providing you have access to a mill or drill press, drilling & tapping holes in a straight line is a big deal in Gunsmithing. Shot out barrels, or even pieces of cold rolled 1018 steel are good scraps to practice).
This is also a great book. it has some advanced stuff in it, but lots of beginner wood & steel projects, as well as practice exercises for machining and using hand tools. http://www.amazon.com/Gunsmithing-Projects-Shotgun-News-Staff/dp/1934622540
That's an interesting sight. I have never heard of it. I still recommend mounting on the action to get the most accuracy out of the gun. Below i have linked a picatinny rail that i have mounted on a few 10/22 actions with great results, and its very cheap. My honest opinion is those clamp on style rails are junk.

I would also recommend Shotgun News Gunsmithing Projects Book available on Amazon. If nothing else it's a very fun read. Here is the Amazon Link https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1934622540/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Something like this will work perfectly. They aren't too expensive and will be around next time you want to change sights.
Mmm. I thought it might be carbon build-up on the threads but I tried scraping it off with a brass pick like this one at it just wasn't coming off. It felt like I was trying to scrape off steel, so assumed it was some kind of issue with the thread itself.
The damage I'm seeing seems very similar to what's described in this thread. It's clearly not something to worry about as-is; I just want to make sure I'm not doing something dumb so it won't get worse and become a problem later.
Agreed, I personally found that Grizzly /u/heronmarkedblade1984 mentioned to be very apt, to the point where I wish listed it.
most home improvement stores do not carry any tools you'd use to work on firearms short of things like the drills themselves or sanders or whatever.
things like taps, dies, screwdrivers, these all need to be gotten elsewhere unless you can find specific stuff. hollow ground screwdrivers for instance. this tap. (alt link at midway) just about any tap handle will work for the most part, so long as it goes down to a small size to grab the tap itself. tapping lube can be found at most hardware stores. #31 drill bits (@midway) are also usually not found in regular stores. if you have a local machine supply shop they might have such, and even the tap and what not, but they're probably not going to be cheap.
It's done with a tip like this: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B004BPVXII/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_awdb_l89PybV5MCSC0 and a wood burner.
You'll need a wood burning iron with adjustable temperature controls and some time to fine tune your temperature and technique to get the right effect. You'll have to rotate the workpiece every few indentations to get the right look.
I've actually researched this and tried it out with very good results. EEZOX:

Instead of a taper they are squared off. They don't twist out of the slot as easy ad a regular tapered screwdriver and can get a lot more torque with less chance of damaging the screw.
First thing I'd get is a book.
Pickup Gunsmithing by Roy Dunlap
First few chapters are all about the workshop and tools you'll need.
Can't say it enough times.

I'd go with Tap Magic, that way you can say "I'd tap that".
Get a variable speed bench grinder. I have a Delta that goes from 2000rpm to 3400. There are also slow speed bench grinders that are around 1700rpm
http://www.amazon.com/GA-CF354-Round-Center-Finder-Gage/dp/B000U7R5II/ref=sr_1_11?ie=UTF8&qid=1367507627&sr=8-11&keywords=center+finder
First, check if it feeds manually, by charging the rifle and letting the bolt freely fly back into battery. Find old brass if you're not willing to use a live round, chamber the rifle and see if it extracts without a mag in it. Just do it for giggles. I expect it'll function just fine without the magazine, but it's important to check just to be sure.
Proceed to go to a safe area and attempt to manually feed live rounds from the mag. If this is not an option, get some dummy rounds and do it: https://www.amazon.com/Magpul-MAG215-BLK-Mag215-BLK-5-56-Dummy/dp/B006QP76CI
So, assuming it fails to charge manually, here are the potential culprits:
The alignment/placement is off on one or more of these items if it's failing to feed manually. Go through them one by one and ensure they're up to spec.
If it charges manually, it's likely either a gas alignment issue (tube or block), or the gun needs a liberal cleaning.
This is the one I had on order till my wife fucked us over financially. https://www.amazon.com/Grizzly-G4003G-Gunsmiths-Bench-Lathe/dp/B000M630HC
Remember your going to needvthe rest for tooling. Dont waste your time on combo machines.
