I posted this here about 2 years ago. It is an 1888 Commissioned Rifle that has been re-barreled with a 8.15x46R barrel or 7.7MM. Attachment 56460Attachment 56461Attachment 56462The gun has been modified for sure and with the help of some here and another sight, was fired for the first time since WW2 with a low power load. I am trying to finish this project and have some questions on the rear sights. It is a ramp up but as can be seen, cut down from the front to the back as the numbers almost disappear at the bottom of the ramp at the rear of the sights.This sight has a windage adjustment screw and it slides from left to right with a thumb screw. Unfortunately the screw has been froze and twisted off when I tried to move it. The sight is free, but I need to attempt to free up the screw or get it out. The next project. At any rate, anyone know what these sights came from? It is not original to the GEWicon 88. The back fixed "V" on normal sights can be moved left or right with the thumb screw. It travels in a notch along a rail. Either someone did some serious machining or these came from another gun. I have attached pictures.
Thanks in advance,
Lyle
