Baldwin sights - Kurt - 09-04-2014
What's going on with Baldwin?
Buff Arms has them discontinued and their web site is down. Are they closing doors?

A few months back I was looking for a front-sight w/ inserts. I e-mailed Baldwin from their website, no answer. I did locate a phone # and called them. No answer, but it did ring somewhere.

TNX. Jim.
I been doing this also with no luck.
I have a new rifle coming that will need a new sight. I have a couple front sights of his on my Sharps and I really like them because they hold the insert in tight and a good view of the level.

I looked and yes, Buff Arms has discontinued the Baldwin line. I called his shop phone per the current website - recorded "call back later" message. So I called Dave Crossno about 5 min ago and he says as of this AM, Sep 5, 1024, Steve B too busy to tell ya how busy he is and alive and well (as well as can be expected for the seasoned citizens group) and all that stuff.
And just now, Steve called me (he was taking a hand loading break) and we chatted for several minutes. Long story short - all is OK with Steve.

TNX> John.
Being to busy is just as bad if not worse than having nothing to do. And it will make am old man out of you.

Tell me about it!! I finally just sold the business and now I'm enjoying what I wanted to do....
My wife asked me what I did today and I told her nothing. She said that's what you did yesterday! I said I wasn't finished...and I'm still not!!
