Looks promising, I'll give them a call on Monday... thanks!

For reference at what point does the length become excessive - 4/8/12 inches... is there any agreement in the shooting circles on what an "adjustested" sight radius is most accurate? Thanks again.

Extending the sight radius on a 1907 - Easy fix?

Looking for suggestions, or commercial applications that would allow a barrel extention to be fixed to my standard 1907 barrel... is this possible?

Thanks Pat, Jose -- I'll post into the "want ads" and see what is available - interesting on the "two lense" rule - am I correct on the following? A front post eagle eye will magnify the bull allowing a larger aperature and thus increasing the accuracy of the "white space ha...

Optical lens -- 1.5x or 1.3x -- who is using what?

Folks, I have a 1907 without extension and wondered who is using a front optical lens, and for those that are, did you go with the 1.5 or 1.3? I understand I'll need to adjust the opening on my front post -- but do I also need magnification in the rear sight? Looking for opionions and actual use... ...

I have a LH 1907 and perhpas I could read the dials -- but in sighting my rifle in this afternoon the "adjustment direction" was reversed -- "L" actually raised my impact -- is this me, or is the convention actually referring to the physical location of the ring? Also, I have a 1...

Champion's Choice Inserts -- What size do you use?

Hi, I used the 2.4 on the 50' target and there was just a "sliver" of white around the black -- scores were great, but the edge was a little foggy with 47 year old eyes (yikes!)... I shot a second relay with the 2.8 inserts but the scores were a little softer -- what are most people using ...

Folks, UPS just replace the cracked 1907 stock that was damaged in transit - so now I have a brand new stock - does anyone have a guide as to how to adjust the LOP and cheek piece on this wooden stock? (I've looked at it - but I'd had hoped for a guide sheet (i.e., loosen washer and then?). Yes, I'm...
