I have a friend who has a Little Bighorn commemorative. He hasn't shot it in years and would likely part with it. I'll ask him if your interested.

Please!
IF, you are planning on shooting B.P., you will have a more harmonious outcome with a Pedersoli/Uberti replica. Along with the fact that the tang sight on the Little Bighorn is close to useless, along with the camlatch issue.(which is easily resolved)

The H&R tang sight bottoms out at 200 yards when at the lowest position - think of it as the 'battle sight'.
Further adjustments were for the owner/shooter to figure out individually, with smokeless commercial .45-70, and file marks were the 'Order of the Day' - using a scribe.
They were never calibrated for BP - when they came out in the early '70's - no one was shooting it.
You can always mount an original rear sight - it'll obscure some of the barrel's markings at the top of the lettering, but that isn't a problem.
If you do that to the 'Officer's Rifle' - you need an original Rifle sight, and should mount a Beech front sight - a wooden, checkered pistol grip finishes it, because the original metal ones are too large for the wrist of the H&R, and the ones supplied with some of the commemoratives are a major pain to source.
Pedersoli bought up a lot of the discontinued stock (as well as finished, used ones) of H&Rs while figuring out their production of same and re-marking them.
Vaya,
Scouts Out!
I sent you a PM.
