Thanks JD... As you said sometimes even this doesn't cut it too well, thus the question. I've seen some SS serrated fronts that are sandblasted too and that can really help. Alan is sand blasting a serrated front on a gun he's finishing up for me now. He's doing the rear too, says it really helps. I like the profile of these guns too and the reality for me most of the time is once I settle on a load in a particular gun, I tend stick with it. Mostly laziness I suppose.... NO!NO!...Not lazy good sound management....

Mine has the dovetail sight but it's in the back. I like the idea of the ruggedness of the FA fixed sights, but it always seemed to me like the top strap could use a little more contour for best appearances. Mike, is that rear sight a factory option, or is that a custom conversion along with the scalloped loading gate? Looks tremendous! Otony

Thanks! It's Bowens work starting on a FA 97 thet left the factory with the top strap unmachined. Hamilton worked the topstrap and added a USFA flattop target rear sight, Scalloped the recoil shield and loading gate, made up the barrel with the integral sight base, added nitre blue screws and pins, blended and regulated ejector rod housing screw and chamfered the cylinder.

I've always preferred the fixed sight guns of any flavor from a visual standpoint. I tested a few different methods of glare reduction on SS guns and it can be done pretty easily. A fine checkering file and/or bead blasted finish are all you need.
