	Thanks for that. All is a little clearer, now. Here I was thinkin' it was something to do with the way the forend was set up, or something along those lines. I could see how the copper color would stand out a bit better in some circumstances. Of course, the patent files are full of guys that had better ideas.... Cheers Trev

	FWIW, I have a Krag carbine with a front sight made from an old silver dime. Probably correct for the period. Numismatists cringe, but the milled edge looks kind of neat.
