Hear is a really nice rifle I picked up in Baltimore. Serial number is in between quite a few numbers that were issued to Fort Bowie and Indian Scouts in 1881. Not an SRS hit but a really nice one with an experimental Bull rear sight. I was told at the show that the Bull sight was a home made one but thanks to a Dick Hosmer and Tom Trevor I now know that it is a correct Bull sight :D
Also a couple photos of an M88 that I recently re built. The barrel was from my first TD and have been picking up parts here and there for some time.
The barrel needed to be refinished and the gun smith who did it had done a fabulous job.
