Vermont Flea Market Find; 1862 M53 Enfield

.......

Rifle is in the gun shop having the reproduction rear sight micro-welded on.

No offense to you but why "micro-welded"? The rear sights were originally quite effectively attached using solder and were nearly impossible to knock off when done that way. Is your gunsmith not able to solder? It is better, not to mention safer, on an original barrel.....

Micro-welding is a nearly invisible small welding process for cracks and such. I'll check if they are MW or soldering.
