Theodore Roosevelt is annoyed at the condition of the rifles sent by the Winchester Company. Roosevelt plans to send them his government rifle, so they can see the stocks and sights he uses. He emphasizes the importance of copying the rear sight and stocks of the government rifle. Roosevelt would also like a “small light pink ivory bead” substituted for the metal bead on the three front sights.

Letter from I. L. Lippencott to Theodore Roosevelt
The Winchester Repeating Arms Company addresses Theodore Roosevelt’s complaints about the guns they sent. The sights were put on temporarily to be used when testing the special ammunition. When the guns are given the extra thick pads, they will also be the dimensions Roosevelt requested. They will also get ivory sights stained “a little pink” for Roosevelt. Remaking the stocks will cause a delay of three weeks in gun delivery.
