1879 Argentine No. 1 RB. sights

Post by ejt »

Hello. Thanks for letting me join.
Looking for rear sight suggestions for my 1879 Argentine No. 1 RB. The issue sights have no provision for windage adjustment. It only has one tang screw, so that’s out, as this is a fairly nice gun I don’t want to drill any holes. The front sight is brazed? on so I can’t go there. This pretty much leaves the standard rear sight location. Has anyone found a good ladder sight with windage adjustment that will work? The current 100yd sight setting has the vee around ½” above the barrel so the lowest setting will have to be close to that. Thanks for any help!
