INTRODUCTION
Let's face it, the Improved Iron Sights are useless. None of them are historically accurate, they're ugly, and they have no statistical benefit on your guns, despite what the in-game stat bar says. Don't you wish that Component slot could've been reserved for something useful? 

this is what the Calibers mod aims to fix, replacing the entire Iron Sights component category with a new category: Calibers. Each gun has two different calibers or bullet powder loadings that impact performance, sometimes drastically. This applies to all firearms, including the Navy Revolver & the Elephant Rifle. All scopes are now available for almost all Repeaters & Rifles. I have also altered the stats for the Short Barrel, instead of providing no stat bonus whatsoever, it now provides a 10% increase to rate-of-fire, so now there's a reason to choose the Short Barrel over the Long Barrel in specific circumstances (the Long Barrel still provides a 10% boost to overall range). It's important to note that the stat bars won't change however, as they're basically just static elements. The stats for these calibers are listed below

                                                                           INSTALL
drag & drop the "lml" folder into your main directory; if you want my Accurate NPC Loadouts mod as well, do this for the "lml" folder inside the "Accurate NPC Loadouts merge" folder instead. If you want to keep the catalog_sp file you're currently using, open the "catalog_sp replacement" folder and drop the "stream" folder into your lml folder, as well as replacing the install file with the one provided in the "catalog_sp replacement" folder.
