Question for Mountie Musket Owners

[MannitheGerman]

Every levergun I had needed some adjustment of the sights to left or right. As the elevation should not be a problem with the muskets, how about windage? I guess they have fixed sights, at least the front sight. Can the rear sight be moved? Please let me know your experiences with this guns.
Thank you in advance.

If I understand you correctly, I think you're refering to the NWMP carbine, not an 1876 Winchester Musket.  The original 1876 model NWMP carbines were equiped with Spanish Meter rear sights.  I can't speak for the reproduction, but I do have an original Mountie carbine with this sight and it is not adjustable for windage.  I would not think that the Spanish Meter sight on the Chaparral carbine would be windage adjustable, either.

Adios,
Buck

Here is a picture of the sights on an original.  The sights on my Chaparral 'Mountie' '76 are virtually identical.
I have some pictures of an original here = http://s195.photobucket.com/albums/z112/IceboxSask/?action-view&current=NWMP76e2.jpg

I have a Chaparral NWMP carbine and you can move the rear sight left or right a little by loosening the mounting screws.  Mine was shooting a little to the left at 100 yards and this fixed it.
