This is my .45 mule deer gun. I will first be out mid Sept with it hoping to connect in the general BP season. It was made by Deer Lodge for awhile seems to be left over Numrich parts. Barrel is well rifled and shoots good, I do not like the stock work. I have leftover Curly Maple from a previous build big enough to make new stocks for it. I would like to do it up in the style of the obsolete H & A Heritage (Hermitage?) underhammer with the capbox in the stock and scroll guard behind the hammer spring/trigger guard. German Silver furniture all around this time to give it a bit of class. I made the sight base, I had to drill a clearance hole for the screw under the base in the receiver, which I did NOT want to do, but the originals are all done so, so grit the teeth and do it anyway. Some extend clear through. The front sight is a tall bead from H& R's Officer Model Trapdoor Springfield. The scope is an old Tasco I bought a bit later, other that modifying offset clamping rings and attaching them I have not got the scope mount all figured out, although it will use a common screw in the back to fit the peep sight mount, a detented knurled brass nut for elevation adjustment, and a spring loaded detented windage screw in the yoke, right side for a "righty".
