Help finding a front sight...
« on: April 04, 2012, 11:06:26 PM »
I need some help finding a new front sight, the factory sight broke when I was trying to ... uh... 'adjust' it.  :'(   I looked through FAQ and I think I have decide on the Williams fire sight item# 70220. I'd like to know for sure if it will fit. Barrel is one of the last pre-remington  22"  45/70.

Call the manufacture they should be able to tell you what you need to know.

Dovetails are nominal 3/8", some hand fitting of the base is often required, though sometimes stuff just fits together. This is the time to get a different front sight height if you need a change to maximize the rear sight adjustment.
