RMO arose for no odd reason. The A and RY of Armory were obliterated by holes drilled and tapped for the front scope base.
The "dashes" are the slots of plug screws turned into scope base hole and dressed smooth as he converts it back to a period iron sight sporter.
The reason I asked about the globe front sight was that I see a lot said on the Shiloh board about the difference between target globe sights and silver or copper blade hunting sights. I guess if you can see the globe insert against a critter, you are ok.
You are correct sir.
A far as visibility, I don't see any difference to my eyes of a globe sight with a thin post for hunting vs a hooded front sight. The Lyman 48 should be here tomorrow. It will need cleaning up but is period correct. Engraving should take a couple weeks so hopefully I can wrap this up before turkey season.
