Butlersrangers. Thanks for that. Comparing what is offered today with what was commonplace quality 100 years ago is eye opening. Those sights are that quality

Jim. That is just what I am doing.I'm doing searches & reading what I find. I copied a very nice worksheet for the Arasaka I found on a link here and am filling it out with information from several posts. I will likely start a thread based on what I now know. I'm also doing some Seabee research to try to verify the story I was told by my father in law. I have the book about his outfit and want to get his military record. When I know something I'll start a thread in the right place. He was tough SOB, I'm glad we got along, wish we had had more time together.
