1849 pocket front sight

[red coneston]

  My uberti .32 conversions shoot 10 in. high at 10yds. Is the bead pressed or screwed in ? Any info
       on how to replace and where to get a taller bead would be appreciated. Thanks, Red

It's pressed in.  Take a vice grip and remove the old one.  Go to the hobby store and buy a piece of brass rod.  Make a new front sight and use red loctite to hold it in.

Make it taller than you think you need, that way you can file it down to get zeroed.......Buck

I'd try different bullet weights, before I did anything to the piece.

Vaya,

St. George's suggestion is good.  The lighter projectiles do shoot lower, but how can you get anything lighter than a .31 round ball?

The final answer will probably be a higher front sight, or a lower back sight.  Get a good load, with one of the lighter bullets, and go from there.

Thanks for info from all, Im kinda limited with the .32 s+w, just using my light .76 gr. reloads so theres
little recoil to raise impact. Thanks again Pettifogger for brass rod idea. Red
