I would have liked to have had the front sight for one of my T's! That rifle sold cheap.

What is holding the G&H side mounted plate to the receiver? I don't see any holes. There are 3 screws, but on Griffin & Howe installed mounts they would grind the screw heads down and blue it. You can see where the blue doesn't exactly match. That's one of the cool things on the G&H mounts.

That's only cuz other folks jump in to correct me before you get here. My G&H is factory installed and I can't see under it. Keep forgetting how many holes are there.

Actually, it you look close at the zoomed in pic it looks gold with a ring of red around the base?

Thought it looked red but the side view looks gold. Oh well, another mystery.
