Good afternoon,
While we all survive the madness going around us, I hope to tap the collective wisdom while we are all captive.
I am restoring an original 1876, and I need a rear sight. My reading says I need a semi-buckhorn that is 3 3/32 Inches long, but this does not help me identify which one I need to find. While this is an Express 1876, I?m not sure this one would have had the Express sight, so thinking I just need to find a proper semi-buckhorn. If it helps, the sight notch is about 5? forward of the receiver.
Can someone help me with what I need to know in order to buy the proper version? Maybe a picture or some other way to cut through all the options Ebay and other sites have.
I just got everything back from Mike Hunter, who did a fantastic job with the CCH and traditional rust blue on the barrel and magazine tube. I am finishing the million day oil rub finish regimen on the stock.
Any help and advice is appreciated. It?s my only missing piece to this puzzle.
Justin
