If I can't take quality pics, at least I can take a lot of them right? At some point I'll get it sorted.

Daryl, it is plain as day to me now that you've explained how those sights work. I hadn't consciously noted the two yardages on the standing blade-had I been asked to explain it, I would have wrongly assumed maximum point blank range to 150 yds although that clearly makes no sense looking at the ballistics. Thank you for clarifying what I hadn't even thought to ask about. I'll remember to test your theory for 300 too. Btw, the jaundiced orb at the end of the barrel is an old ivory night sight that slides into a longitudinal dovetail, and has yellowed with age. The original steel sight is long gone, but I imagine POI will be identical.

I just today got a set of sling swivels from Mike Rowe. They are impeccable and for sure he is the man I'll go to for a mould, etc..

I'm really lucky to get to 'have' this for now and do appreciate your shared enthusiasm. Like the PGA tour slogan says, "These guys are good." Those Victorian Brits (and Scots) made some really sublime arms.
