Wow. I am impressed.

As one that diddles in home gunsmithing himself, I must say that is some fine work there. Somewhat beyond what I would probably attempt myself. But, you never know :)

Thanks for sharing this thus far - looking forward to more. :mrgreen:

Foolproof? On a nice rifle like that? Thats like putting Sears tires on a '58 'vette. D & T the tang and install a quality original Lyman tang sight on it.-----------------Sixgun

Nice work dude--your talented! :D

A nice, properly slim forearm I see. That's going to look great compared the the Louisville Slugger is used to wear under the barrel.

The '47 tang is already D&Td from the factory. Never mind the Lyman tang sight, go for a Marble's tang sight!!!!
