A338,

Oh boy!  That sounds really good.  Are you going to mount a peep of any sort or just use the irons?  NECG has a nice 3 leaf that will look very good.  Maybe a white bead? How's the wood finish - bright or satin?  Good luck with it!

A338,

Bully!  Africanizing a 1895 suits.  Since yours is a .270, you may be able to rebore/ream for about half of the cost of rebarrelling(?).  Not as custom-looking, but certainly as functional.

The sights sound good, too.  I think they call the banded front sights, caterpiller sights, for some reason.  New England Custom Gun makes or distributes the sights and can do the work, but you may want find someone in Anchorage.  I wouldn't give this work to a first timer, though.  Nothing more frustrating than sights that can regulate or pop off.

Do not take your new gun to the range.  Those Brownings are pretty accurate and we don't want you falling in love with the wrong girl.

Regards,

Charlie
