Hi Herbert, and thanks for posting from Australia,

How about some photos of your modified .44 Russian Spencer?  If you want, send them to me at fsgrand2@fairpoint.net and I will post them for you and then you can add your text or description for the photos.  Would like to see the new barrel and sights you've added.

How are you getting the new 56-50?  From which dealer/importer? 

By the way Herbert check out this link:

Have you seen it?

Thanks,
