I am actually building them concurrently to save setup time on the various steps in the final fitting and finishing. It is nearly over...

Speaking just for me I wouldn't volunteer to try to fill your shoes. I hope someone does though. I can see it now, 100 years from now they'll be talking about a pre and post cutoff point in the production of the Lightfoot mount....

Bob The early takedowns have the rear sight closer to the receiver ring so the mounting holes have to be extended to the rear to accommodate that. I preferred to do that on a case-by-case basis. This ended around the 220K SN range so above that the sight dovetail is fairly consistent +/- .050"

To the best of my knowledge it will be going on a very old .303 Savage, hint, hint. The other one is on a 1923 .300 Savage. It just don't get any better than that. Home for wayward neglected 99's.
