Kac, Nice group of guns. The one with no rib, what front sight was used? I'm close to building one and not sure if I should use the rib I have or just add a front site like yours. I have a 6" slab side bbl and I'm going to cut it to abt 41/2" cause it would look neat. Its a pre war long action. I wanted to use the long action vs the short. The Weigand frt site base would be nice bc I could change the blades if I wanted. The bbl was cut on my gun and I want to face off the bbl close to square and glue a site of some sort to shoot it first. Don't want to spend the money on a conversion if it isn't a good shooter.. There are some nice guns pictured in this post. Larry
