The NEGC beads (same ones Brownell's sells) are made of mammoth ivory and are not restricted. Wish they would offer mid-rib beads as well!

Jerry, I have a Fox that has a front ivory "set in caps." It's also very large! I never saw that before. Can you provide any information about such beads-in-caps? (i.e. Who made them, when, gunmakers who optioned them, etc.) I've wondered about them for some time and thought maybe others here on the forum might have seen them and wondered also.
Thanks.

I have used the gold and ivory sights you mention. I believe they were Marbles. I may still have one in the original wrapper. I have used Tony's ivory sights also.

Aaron zimmerman makes nice reproductions of the marbkes sights. He also does a cery good job of finishing damascus barrels.
