Default First test targets - 1899 .38 s/n 6215

Courtesy of Jim Fisher, we have the first two test targets for this revolver. I've discussed this gun in two previous threads. I've replaced the entire cylinder assembly, due to a small hole through one chamber.

Here are a couple of pictures of the gun, as originally received a couple weeks ago.





This next picture is the first target shot.



The next picture reflects a change in the aiming point, and a slight windage adjustment to the rear sight blade. The elevation adjustment is temporarily 'out of order'.



Kudos to Jim - this is outstanding shooting!

I should mention that everything on the gun did letter to the frame serial number. Only the front sight blade was not original - it's the subject of an earlier posting regarding the Barber quarter front sight.

Regards, Mike Priwer
