340 sights - 02/08/11
Here is what I did bring home from Sunday's show.
Left one is a WFC 175, right is WFC 150. Both have a bit of wear. I had not seen a 150 with the large disc before (only seen a couple total). Did these sights come in multiple configurations? Anyone have any idea what WFC CO. stand for? Only reference I have is Stroebol's book which only lists them as Savage sights. Screws are not correct, but the closest thing I have found so far. I now have more 340 sights than rifles. A problem I'll certainly solve in the future.
Got to meet and speak at length with Ken Bean. Really personable fellow who freely shared his knowledge with me and others. This guy had an unbelievable number of sights available. His wife quipped with a sigh that there were many many more at there home. She seemed pleased that a guy bought $4700 worth of sights the day before. Mr. Bean was not so happy about the transaction, he "missed them".
