I can certainly understand why you’re so happy! Good job gathering all the pieces and picking a gunsmith to put everything together in a very pleasing manner. Congratulations, well played!

Very nice, Ben!  That is a very worthy rifle for your collection. It all came together so well.

Ben,
I look forward to seeing the completed rifle.  With that gorgeous stock, it should be a showstopper.  You were very fortunate to find a Lyman 48T sight so quickly.  When I needed one a few years back to complete a Round Top 52 Pre-A that was missing its original 48T, it took more than a year, and required I buy a rifle just to “harvest” the sight.  They are quite hard to find.  Here are my “Round Top Twins” with sequential serial numbers, wearing their factory correct Lyman 48T sights.

 
All the best—
BRP
  

Hey BRP. My round top serial number is real close to yours. # 22164. These are scarce enough but mine as a heavy Nickel Steel bbl. I’ve been told the NS bbls. are ever scarcer than the stainless steel type. I have a real nice Lyman 5A for it. Big Larry
