    Nice...good enough. I'd go ahead and make up a copy ramrod bayonet using the piece and the small needs aren't so bad. The bore looks like it could use a cleaning. I've never been able to figure out the Buffington sight, I'd be more comfortable with a standard sight. I guess a range report is forthcoming? I still think It's a good catch...

    I'm hitting the range later this week Jim I'll write up a report right after. I have no experience with this rear sight but it seems overly complicated for a battle rifle. I possibly found an original ramrod bayo for sale at trapdoor collectors. I've sent an email and am anxiously waiting for a reply. This will leave only the sling swivel and screw to be located. I love it when a plan comes together!
