Rick, when are you getting your newest acquisition? Is it still on the way?
Got it ... just have to wait and take some better pictures. I use natural light and we've had some dark days, when I've been home.

My thanks to all of you who took the time to share your beautiful rifles with those of us less fortunate. Just spent a very pleasant hour viewing/reviewing details on all of them. I'm even glad to know that RtL still has his afghan.
Kept, safely packed away. :DQuote:

Dang ... you could be right - have to take a closer look.:confused:
I have to repeat Alkali in saying the best 8 pages I've gone through just looking at these beautiful rifles. My thanks to all of you!
This is the rear sight leaf and with the slide with a square corner. The peep is not numbered and without the top rib on the leaf. This sight has been on the rifle for a long timeAttachment 60584Attachment 60585
