Jim,
Thanks that makes perfect sense. I guess I thought that since we were kind of "in house" it didn't occur to me to do the [img] thing.
The Sedgley Springfield is a conversion, but he (R.F. Sedgely) apparently did a lot of them. How many? Beats me, but enough that they were in his catalogs for several years in the 20's and 30's.
It came to me via a late cousin and unfortunately I didn't ask enough questions while he was still alive. Of course at the time I didn't know it would come my way once he passed. I am really enjoying it. It is very accurate and I am getting to the point where I can hit a 3" bullseye at 100 yards with regularity. The iron sights are a bit of a challenge for someone used to a scope, or much closer targets.
Just handling the old classic makes you feel like you are stepping back in time. Into the time of all those early 20th century hunters and authors.
Thanks,
Lou M
