Don't worry about getting older and still doing stupid stuff. You'll do the stupid stuff as always, only much slower. Hold my beer and watch this.......

Kmb, when you going to shoot that "new Original"? It should be kind of interesting to see how it behaves. I'm thinking no problems. Sure like the way it looks.

As soon as I can get that rear sight ordered and on I'll be at the range :-)

Was out of town and still need to order the rear sight and it'll be complete. I can't wait to shoot it!

Just put the Lyman sight on (and cracked it) so I'll see if it's worth repurchasing or not.

I have some simpler rear sights (steel) coming from Tracks of the Wolf. Between those and the Lyman I should have a winner. Bullseye sight from Marbles looks interesting too. Brass peep sight from Skinner is still in the mix if these don't work.

I bet a tool and die maker could take a hack saw blade and fit his little peep sight to that Lyman sight. Just a thought.
