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!

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 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.

I can visualize people scurrying to their books. lol. Or maybe Allen could start a "cocking piece treasure" thread.
