Look a little harder. Isn't the purpose of the bird we see, and like :D , on the current standard BH sight base just to hide the injection point of a MIM part.. My NM FTs are still marked "Micro" only... No bird.

I wonder how a revolver gets a ding like that? It doesn't look as bad as I was thinking it would be. That looks like one that should be at home on someone's hip, in a nice leather holster.

Yep! Can't wait to get it to the range and hunting lease. Should arrive early next week. I will post a range report as soon as I can. :D

Since the rear sight is in question, and may have been replaced by a non-original version, one wonders whether whatever event caused the "ding" on the topstrap perhaps also "dinged" the original sight.

Still a heckuva nice "shooter".

That is what Heliman and I discussed over the telephone.

Luckily I was in the market for an old model shooter and this is going to work out perfectly. The fact it is a flattop is even better.

Just patiently waiting on the USPS to deliver the package.

It arrived today! A big thanks to Dave aka "Heliman" for an awesome find then selling to me for a great price!! :D

I have been looking for a shooter at a good price for a long time.

Absolutely the best trigger I have ever had on a single action! Can't wait to get to the range. Will post a range report in a few days.

I had the chance to run out to the range for a few minutes this afternoon. I think she shoots pretty good.

This is from the 15 yard line using an old box of cheap Blazer Aluminum 125 grain JHP's (magnums) and was the best group I shot.

Sorry about the poor photo.

I do believe this old flattop is a keeper! :D
