To DCWilson - Yes, that is a Call Gold front sight and a U notch. It started out with a McGivern Gold Bead, but about 1/4 of the bead had been polished off. It was lopsided and the top left part of the sight blade itself was rounded off. It was milled flat and turned into a Call Gold bead to salvage it. The sight picture is now like an Express sight on a rifle. So far I can pick it up fairly quickly.

To Hondo44 - Keith Warner at Keith Warner Gunsmith, Inc in Germantown were the bluers. He advised a medium polish to hide some of the flaws that I could not get out without too much metal removal. It is very well done.

To Tom S. - Can I tape the playing card to the muzzle?

To Muley Gil - Mmmmm, BBQ. Lunch is calling. Also, I got three more in the "planning stages". At the rate I am going, Sarah will have to finish them off.
