Rear sight

curdog · September 25, 2009, 09:48:56 AM

Here's a rear site I made for my 1876. I don't like the horns on the buchorn sight and I wanted a narrower notch. So I made this one from 1084 spring steel.

1084 huh? Sounds like something a knifemaker would use?

I've got a new 76 NWMP coming and may have to do something like that for it.

Good job.

Yeah I make a few knives.

Got any pics? Where you located?

Here's some of my work. I

do mostly 18th century stuff. I love my muzzleloaders and old leverguns.

Very cool hawks! One of these days I've got to try a smoking hawk. Did you do the powder horns too?

Wills yes I made the powder horns also. I make all my accouterments for my muzzleloaders and for other folks too. I even make a gun once in while.

Awsome work! A nice left handed flinter is on my "to do" list, but never seems to be enough time to get around too it.

Thanks for sharing
