Jim,
Thanks that makes perfect sense. I guess I thought that since we were kind of "in house" it didn't occur to me to do the [img] thing.

The Sedgley Springfield is a conversion, but he (R.F. Sedgely) apparently did a lot of them. How many? Beats me, but enough that they were in his catalogs for several years in the 20's and 30's.
It came to me via a late cousin and unfortunately I didn't ask enough questions while he was still alive. Of course at the time I didn't know it would come my way once he passed. I am really enjoying it. It is very accurate and I am getting to the point where I can hit a 3" bullseye at 100 yards with regularity. The iron sights are a bit of a challenge for someone used to a scope, or much closer targets.
Just handling the old classic makes you feel like you are stepping back in time. Into the time of all those early 20th century hunters and authors.
