No, but it wouldn't change the outcome. I wasn't wrong.

Looking good so far. caveat: I almost never look at the scripting. I don't study it, unless there's a reason I want to look closer, so it's never something committed to memory.

Just asked if you'd ever weighed Flip sights as a method of comparison. Your reply noted. CH-P777

I couldn't figure out if you were serious or not, having looked at it in every possible way as I was trying to prove it was fake.

If it looks like a duck and quacks like a duck is it a duck?

Note that the milling on this subject oddball sight is nothing like the fakes that Anthony Pucci of Orion has been knowingly selling as real while having been told they are L&S Supply reproductions. But revisting this specific sight, the milling on the sight in question is straight up Jasper Blackburn. Dead on for about any B-IP or BR sight you pick up. What it was used on will be the question on my mind. I'm not claiming it was part of the serifs placed on Winchesters or Inlands during that period of usage. But that isn't the only usage of serif S. I have an IBM sight with serif S. IBM as we know was not produced anywhere near the time of Win and Inland serif S. Or perhaps this one was an unmarked sight someone added the serif S to, which could also have been a transfer base sent to a maker for assembly when it was stamped? I know I've witness odd placements of the S on sight parts that were sent to makers who assembled them. When those were struck is out of my realm. After removing this one I hammered the base back square and straight. Charlie I've found a decent drug dealer's scale in a junkyard car glove compartment that I use to weigh my espresso beans now. I'll try 10 or so rear sights in the near term to check weights.

My sig: Seen an IP or S'G'? Add it to my registry. We'll check consecutives.
