Most excellent!!! I am still on the hunt for another suitable candidate for my second Lightfoot mount. Found something but it is saddled with one of them there Stith mounts and 330 optics which I am learning quickly to love but it ain't a "Lghtfoot".
Home for wayward neglected 99's.

Appears their is not a manufacturer for the saddle ring staple for the carbines. Second product for your product line. GW

No... NO! Defacing art is not cool. A discrete s.n. on the underside is ok.

Haha! Thanks for the encouragement. The dovetail spacing is something I plan on discussing with Mike in our next call. Was on the road all day today, my time wasn't my own.
As far as a name change, I've decided it'll remain "Lightfoot", to honor the gentleman who cooked it up. Putting an identifier on the bottom side is a good idea though. Talked to a guy yesterday about making up a roll stamp. Not as expensive as I thought it would be.
Another fella suggested color case hardening. Hmmmmmm.......

Another fella suggested color case hardening. Hmmmmmm....... I had briefly discussed this with Mike but at the time I wasn't confident enough in my technique to be comfortable doing it for other people. I also had concerns about if the welds would be noticable. Unless you have plans for doing it, feel free to hit me up sometime to chat.

Will do. The weld color's shifting occurred to me, as well as possible warpage in the furnace.

You could probably sell 50 sets if they were a good reproduction.

I have asked the publisher if they want to do a revision of the "Collector's Guide" about a week ago. They sent me to someone's voice mail and I haven't gotten a reply. They wanted a revision when they did the second printing but would only give me a few days to get the info together. I'm trying to talk to the jerks ahead of time so I'll have enough time to put together a proper revision. If we do a revision I'll make sure a Lightfoot or Gnoahhh mount gets in it. There is one pictured on my 99K on page 87 of the Engraving book. I mentioned Mike's name in the manuscript but the publisher took it out in editing.
Norm, I need one of those saddle rings.
Gnoahhh, I want my new mount case hardened if case hardening them works out.
