I appreciate the info sir!

Hey guys,

I badly need a rear tang screw that is long enough to accommodate a period after market tang sight. The original screw that is in my sporter isn't long enough to catch the threads once the sight is added. Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!

I have not sold them all yet Bob.

Thanks for the tip. BTW I got to shoot my 45-70 with double set triggers for the first time yesterday and it was so awesome! I'll post a picture once I shoot a deer with it or something!

Thanks again

I actually use gunsamerica yellowhouse. I have two of them on there right now including this one. If you have any trouble finding them just let me know.
