One of Us What an absolutely beautiful polishing and metal job!! Looking forward to seeing it all done up and in its new stock.

-------------------------------------------- Well, other than that Mrs. Lincoln, how was the play?
One of Us Very nice indeed. Very well executed. Love the front sight, well done. Are you going to stipple the pointed area in front of the rear sight ? .

One of Us The rear portion of the front sight in addition to fore and aft of the rear sight will be stippled.

One of Us Excellent. It (the stippling) makes a great difference to the reflection and is needed IMHO. I reckon H&H's stippling is the nicest around, they just have this knack of getting it looking good. One question (NOT a criticism) - the ramp on the front sight, any reason you did it this way and not like the Qtr rib / in front of the rear sight with the nice pointed shape ? Anyway, should look great when finished. .

One of Us The front sight on my .30 super flanged was what I was going for, built in 1926 and the only H&H single known in that caliber. Here is the sight.
The island sight on my super is pointed on both ends, hence the point on the quarter rib.

One of Us skb Thanks. H&H always did change things over time. I'll have a look at my pics of my guns. Well done anyway. .

One of Us Excellent work! I love the trim lines, and the quarter rib is outstanding. I probably missed it, but what is the chambering? Why just the top tang extended? Not a criticism at all, I love the rifle, just don't recall seeing that before.
One of Us Outstanding!
One of Us it's a .375 H&H. I can not really say why I only extended the top tang.....just the way I envisioned it. Thanks for all the kind comments. Steve
