Andy, I really love the way that bolt mounted rear sight looks on a 95.
If mine wasn’t a saddle ring carbine, I would send you my bolt to get that installed.

The black and brass rear tang sights on the High Grade 1895 and M71 ‘s look like that the way they should have come from the factory.

Awesome, I am surprised by the 9.3 and that you didn't go with the 35 Whelen for a medium bore.

I can see how that could turn into an obsession. One lever gun I've always wanted to have is an 1895, and I don't own any. I would mostly want one that would be a shooter and not necessarily pretty, but I would want it to function safely with some kind of reasonably available cartridge, although I'd be happy to reload for it. The problem is I don't really need one (Not that that has ever stopped me before...
)
That batch you have is beyond the average 'collection' though and amazing...
