Those beautiful case colors and outstanding wood are wasted with that clubby forearm and those atrocious sights. That front sight is bad enough on that rifle, but that rear receiver sight is an absolute abonimation.. A simple silver blade front and a traditional Remington Rough and Ready rear barrel sight would be right at home on this rifle. MVA makes a great Rough and Ready and it works great. I have one on one of my rollers.
I agree with you on the fore end and it will be taken care of this spring. The sights were my choice as I didn't build it for anybody else.
Thanks for looking.
I will add that it is for a primitive buffalo hunt. The Vaver sights, front and rear, have screw in sight inserts of different IDs. It is much better for my 75 year old eyes.
