I just obtained all the ivory from an old piano. I want to make some sight inserts for a few of my guns. I am soliciting ideas, and especially photos of sights employing ivory. And screw the ivory police.

Search with your browser for "ivory shotgun and rifle sight images". You'll get tons of pictures.

A few years ago I had a Keith #5 built for me from a smith in Carolina. It has ivory grips. It seems (or did) that the Amish are exempt from the ivory restrictions, as that's where he had mine made.


Never mistake motion for action.

Look at the ivory triangle inserts seen on British doubles. Maybe the easiest sight for my aging eyes to see.

Warthog is better, it does not turn yellow.
