Hi Daniel,
Thank you for the answers anyway, I am not sure I don't like them :wink:

I found replacement threaded front sights on VGP ...

1858 NMA

New member from France
Happy to be a new member. Philippe, black powder shooter (I shoot only handguns, MLAIC rules, flintlock, caplock and replica revolvers), and very recently the happy new owner of an original New Model Army that I intend to use in competition, and on which I will probably ask some more info.
Thank you ...
Thank you ...
