    When I bought mine for my M-69 there were limited options, I got the plain black u-notch. Am wanting a M-66 and might have to move the sight over there and get something else for the M-69. I hope he makes another batch...

    I’ve stoned & honed lots of guns, but never got a 7.5 lb DA pull without altering the mainspring.

    What lube do you use?

    I tried the Wilson mainspring but got some light strikes so went back to the factory one.

    Any update on the round count? I liked a post of yours on a recent pic on another thread and the wear really gives it some character. Couldn't even see the lock.

    Not really. Going by primer boxes and bullet orders its over 10k of magnums and close to half that in warm specials.
