I ordered a tang mid range sight to go on it and saw the scopes. Thought they were interesting.

I thought about the brass ejector problem bu I thought I would ask the question to see what others thought.

By the way that lock is gorgeous and Thanks for the advise

The tang sight will stretch one sight plain, which is a good thing.

I have a 1885 45-90 and shoot heavy bullets in it. It is accurate, one of my favorite rifles. I mainly shoot BP in it though. I doubt that it will have a jacketed bullet go down range from that rifle while I'm alive.
I have a 1886 in a 45-70 and have toyed with the idea of rechambering it, but I do shoot jacketed bullets in it at times.

I got the call today.

Ready to ship and the stinkers have not sent me any pictures. I guess they want to surprise me.

The bullets I cast for it turned out to be hard not soft so I guess I need to order some pure lead and mix with the hard stuff I already have.

My lube dies are being reworked so that I can lube the darn things up with out breaking my equipment and my self.

Things are coming together.

Maybe by the end of next week I will be able to see it.
They said our 10 waiting period here in this stupid state is unconstitutional but we still have to wait the 10 days after we do the instant back ground check.

Getting anxious.

I've known Doug's Dad and Doug since he was in diapers. He is honest straight shooter whose team, does wonderful work in all aspects of gun work.

He has done two LC Smiths for me that were both "gray guns" but rare. A single trap and a special order 6 pound 12 bore double grouse gun both made in 1910. When done, they were both as new or better with the correct LC Smith color case pattern, rust blue, recut markings and on and on.

After UPS managed to drop my Browning Wyoming Centennial 25-06 high wall on the butt hard enough to shatter the stock and BEND the prongs on the rifle buttplate (it was bubble wrapped in a hard case and double boxed. The butt prongs were sticking out. they denied my claim for "insufficient packing" until I slapped a lien on their local facility for fraud) They rolled and I found a new stock my my secret source of Browning parts and Doug fixed the buttplate AND color cased it.

The 25-06 is the bottom one.



His premier stock maker, now sadly passed, restored a number of RF Sedgley deluxe models in rare calibers for me as well. Hardly look like 70 year old rifles.
6.5x55 and 22-06



I would trust Doug with any gun, period!

I hope the one they did for me looks as good as any of yours.

My FFL must be playing games with them. I did not ship today maybe tomorrow.
