New levergun

[Don McDowell]

I like my Winchester 73 short rifle in 44-40 other than the front sight was too tall. I replaced it with an ivory blade and got it to where you could shoot 100 yards, but that ivory blade proved problematic also. I just got a new bead front sight to put on it, but haven't had a chance to put it on just yet.
I prefer the blued receivers on the 73's much closer to what the originals were, except for the presentation guns that were color cased.
