If I'm not mistaken, isn't the front sight blade installed backwards? And the glassbeading in the stock is just the icing on the cake... No thanks... KarlKW

Me thinks you're all jealous that you've not managed to fit a 1901 rear sight into an 1892 hand-guard.

Neither have I....

That gun is in an interesting range. Pity the work that was done on it.

I had quite a discussion with the seller the first time he listed it. He came down quite a bit on price and it looks like he has a bidder. I was interested because I have 22018, but not for the asking price. That an original 92 handguard, no countersink at all to the rivets.
