Boy cleaning stables and such sure gives you time to think.
I will cut it to 6 inches. I was leaning that way anyway as I like to have as much bbl length as I can. Also I'll use the bbl piece to cut the sight base and I'll cut the rammer lock base around the existing piece. I can cut it out after I cut the BBL off. I cannot save the front sight due to me tinkering around with it so I thought about going to my local coin shop and buying a pretty used up Dime (from an earlier post by Mike)about 1868-73 vintage (just the period of the Conversions before Colt prought out the Peacemaker.) I'll have to use it length wise as the flats won't match due to the taper....
