Argentino M1879 Rolling Block. Is it worth restoring?

[killforfood]

I just called Kenn Womack at Rolling Block Parts to order my cleaning rod. We talked about my sight problem and he mentioned that he used to own a rifle nearly identical to mine. It had a novel solution to correct the front sight height and allowed for correction of windage as well. The attachment fits over the original sight and is held in place with a set screw. It can be removed at any time with no damage to the original sight. He sold the rifle to a gentleman that actively shoots competition with it and that lives fairly close to me. Kenn was kind enough to give me the gentleman’s phone number. I’ll see if I can get pictures.


Patrick,
I will need some time to digest your latest post. I appreciate the obviously extensive effort that went into penning it.
Thanks, Joel.
