I agree, Gary, but it’s different. I like the 32WS and I like “different” so the oddest thing about it is that I don’t seem to have one. There’s little practical about what we do, Harry. It matters little to me whether the tang sight and barrel sight will actually work together, I like both sights and a beautiful rifle is a good way to display them. You like it, that’s all that matters. I just spent a half hour making a tubular magazine fit properly in a rifle I’ll probably never shoot, but it looks better and I like it. Carry on, Brother, and please keep those pics coming!

Most of the time, I’m more practical, but, in this case, if you don’t ever intend to fire the rifle, I would keep both on it.

I like the quirky and esoteric and, this, like the .32 Special Smokeless Sight, even though it proves unpopular with many others.

This describes me quite well.

I have the .32 Special Smokeless Sight on my circa 1905 Model 1894 Sporting Rifle. It’s unique and nothing wrong with it!
