Picked this up today for $300.00. Has mostly Remington replacement parts. The barrel is like new. Action is tight. It looks and feels great...

Seasons' Greetings!
At $300, you came close to committing highway robbery!
Congratulations! And Merry Christmas!

As the late Turner Kirkland was fond of saying, "If you want good oats, you have to pay the price. If you'll take oats that have already been through the horse, those come cheaper."

Never saw an "E" marked front sight.."

Great buy! Christmas came early for you.
I've never seen an "E" sight either. Hard to scale from the pictures, but it actually looks taller rather tall. I would expect it to be just .477" tall if it follows the .015"/letter sequence of the A, B, C, and D. For reference the "A" blade is .537" tall.

i think E is a 1903 blade...not sure...nice score...
if it aint broke...fix it till it finally is.

I believe that cocking piece could be a Springfield 1905 era Type 1. Notice that it has no radial grooves on the knob. I can't imagine someone making one aftermarket. I'm going by memory. I've collected almost all the variations of knobs, but not this one.Originally Posted by Mitchsnap
I can visualize people scurrying to their books. lol. Or maybe Allen could start a "cocking piece treasure" thread.
