T/C replacement sight ?

[ButlerFord45]

I would like to replace the adjustable rear sight on a T/C Cherokee with a primitive sight.  Is anyone aware of who might make these?

ditto; Track.
 Be aware, fixed sights can only be adjusted with a file.(front and back)
 And, fixed sights require confidance in all of the prb variables.
 An understanding of how to change those variables is as important to fixed sight use today,,as it was then.

Example,I ran out of cloth, had ta git new.. now my point of impact is just a ""littttle bit low,,and a tad right"",,,,,,,
 How do I know that? I shoot alot. here's my point, I'm not going to file the front,,nore peen the rear to the side for "a bit" of cloth. I might just raise the charge a bit,,or ,,,,,,anyways luck to ya

Thanks, Track had the only set that meets my requirements, http://www.trackofthewolf.com/categories/partDetail.aspx?catId=14&subId=167&styleId=768&partNum=RS-CA-TC  and it is marked as "Sale Pending".  I guess I should have been more specific in my request for information.  I'm looking for a plate with holes to fit the existing holes in the barrel with the leaf/blank or even dovetail in the plate.  I guess I could probably spend less time with a file and drill and make one than what I spend looking for a ready-made.

Yeah, Lost, I understand.  Looking for that load that puts POI at the POA with a single hole group is the fun part for me, I'm much more of a tinkerer than a shooter.

I just bought a primitive styled sight for a .45 cal T\C from Dixie. Had to grind the sides as it was wider that the flats and the holes were spaced differently than the stock sight, but i made it work. Hope this helps.

Thanks D.E.C, I'll have a look.

I replaced the sights on my daughter-in-laws Hawken with the California sights.Had too much time on my hands so I browned it.
I also have them on my Hawken,they are excellent sights.If you don't want to file the front sight, get the adjustable rear sight, hard to tell they are adjustable.

Just as an FYI...it might be worth asking for the precise measurements of the sight's hole spacing before buying it.....the Cherokee/Seneca rear sights and the early model Hawken rear sights has similar hole spacing, but the Hawkens of the past 10-15 years use a slightly larger sight base and wider hole spacing...I have a couple older Hawkens with the closer hole spacing, and some newer Hawkrens with the hole spacing further apart.
