Thanks Mags. Was the most practical and expedient thing for myself and them. That's why I suggested it from the start.

Well here it is with the replacement grips. Have not yet been able to shoot it due to weather. I personally love, or should I say, my eyes love the fiber optics. I know, not traditional :roll: however, gotta do what I gotta do. :)

Fine looking pistoles dude! That is going to be a lot of fun. Keep us posted. I think it needs a gunslinger holster.

Remember, it's not how many guns you have. It's how many bullets you have.

I understand completely as i have my own eye issues!
I just swapped the originals on my 1899 Winchester with the gold bead off my Henry and put a later style Winchester Buckhorn on the rear.
Not a terrible departure from original but I love the larger gold bead front and the later style buckhorn has a thicker blade with a pronounced 'U' groove and its not a bad combo - and the price was right!
Until I decide if I am going to keep the Winchester or not it will allow me to get out and shoot it more accurately.
That 'Ol 119 year old blue kinda glistens now 'eh?

It does glisten and I think you should keep it.
