I'm looking at ordering my first Uberti 1873 soon- a 24" sporting rifle in .44WCF. Going to get it through Long Hunter, and I'll be getting them to slick it up for me. Aside from maybe springs though, I'm gonna try to keep it as period-correct as possible- no aluminum or SS parts, no short stroke, etc.
That said, I am wondering what my options are for mostly-period-correct sights. Front, rear, and tang. Not interested in anything that doesn't have historical precedent to the 1870s. Doesn't have to be 100% exact, just a close facsimile. Also, dumb question, but if you have a tang sight, can you still keep and use the normal rear sight? Does that work ok? Distances will be between 50-150 yards.
Are these Lyman sights the closest new made thing to a period tang sight?
