I have an extra Western (predecessor to Redfield, and identical) no-drill sight I could part with. PM me if you want.

I agree re: anchoring the barrel. (Perhaps add a lug to bottom of the barrel and screw the front sling stud into it?) The poured pewter tip is a nice touch.

Thank you. I'll go that route.

My apologies, as I'm sure its been asked before, but what is the screw size/pitch of the Krag sideplate screw? I need to find/make a longer one to accomodate the Redfield 'No Drill' sight I wish to install.

Has anybody used any of those Numrich barrels? I'm building a G&H-style sporter and would like to use a 24" barrel, and am not averse to cutting down a Numrich 30"-er. I wonder if they are Criterion barrels.

I would sell my soul for one of those!

Sorry to ask, but do either an 1896 #38965 (could be38955), or an 1898 #442703 show up?
