4. We re chambered my old 44 cylinder for a 45 NF
5. Left over NF parts can be sold
6. Full action job.
7. I choose a Weigand front site with interchangeable blades.
8. Andy can knock off original Keith sites I preferred sites I could see and use
9. The back strap is a Bisley altered to fit the standard front strap.

The latch in image 2, I have not seen this before, is this unique to Andy's work or are there S/A revolvers that this is common to?
