I've been using this front sight (iron only) on all my rifles for many years
That looks familiar...

Rondo, when I read Jim's post I thought, "of course it sounds familiar, you old potlicker, 'cause Rondo built that rifle".

Ya need to build Jim a smooth bore, so he can get after them Turkey birds...like a real mountain man!
Betcha that would put some spark in his life!

Welcome back Jim Beau, didn't ya miss us?

Uncle Russ...
It's the many things we don't do that totally sets us apart.

Jim needs a smoothbore for turkeys, maybe sumpthin' like an Early English Trade Gun, or a Northwest Trade Gun.
This is correct.  I did vow to acquire one after the disaster of last season, but have failed...with the season just a few short weeks away, I'm looking at a suitable sling-shot... :oops:
