Year or two ago i bought an old Winchester Model 1885, and while i was cleaning it up and getting the set trigger working, i realized it had an old Indian Head penny as a front sight. It had obviously been there a long time.

holy underwear! thats gorgeous! i'd love to have one with those front & rear sights! i still havent fired my RM, but i will do so.

they can still be had. about 3 weeks ago i went to my local shop at lunch and found a 1937 registered magnum, 6-1/2", call gold bead front sight, all numbers matching including the magna grips, with factory letter, beautiful shape, for $1050. just about dislocated my shoulder reaching for my...

I have a 296, great gun. Keep in mind you are limited to 200 grain ammo. I put on magna-style wood grips and a Tyler "T" grip. Recoil isnt too bad, i dont think. I believe XS sights makes a "big dot" front sight for it.
