This is my m38 that I just love. I did remove a little extra wood at the thumbhole. Used acraglass gel to bed the action. The finish is lots of coats of tru-oil. The only problem I have is the fact that it was channeled for a #1 barrel and I still have the stock military barrel. I just need...
Thanks guys! Not sure how it shoots yet :( . I'll take it out on the 11th and give a range report. I did bore sight it out to 50 yards at home so I hope I'll be on paper and not waste too much ammo sighting it in.

Looks to me like a 5905. If it was a 5906 you would probably see some silver somewhere. There were only 5000 5905's made in 1990 I think. That was fairly new when they lost it.
Do you have any way to make extra funds to support your hobby. For example I do lots of metal artwork and fabrication to make extra cash. I don't like selling treasured items that I'll surely miss after they're gone. If it was me I would find a different way to get what I wanted. This will...
I got my e-mail from alien gear today telling me that they haven't forgotten about me or my order. Nice touch and it makes the wait a little bit more bearable. Thanks A.G. :)
