The rear sight dovetail has a spirit level in it and a lyman reciever sight. It is in 40-72,someone really thought they needed a 40-72 long range rifle for something !! heres the pics.Im sure its a one of rifle in that configuration.

Don - I thought it would be perfect for a guy with long arms like you. If I recall, Dick's arms are not as long. This would be a good rationale for you to get it from him.

It would make for a very long package to ship... and if he included that .50/115 Bullard in the package... it would make for a very heavy package... BUT... what a wonderful package Sorry guys, I'm not living in reality at the moment but at least the thoughts I am having are very pleasant.

I once had a Winchester '76 45-60 that had the original 28" barrel cut to 20" to make it into a "carbine". That's a beautiful one-of-a-kind weapon and a Model 1895 collection all by itself. yooper
