Couldn't find a full buckhorn so I made one..
I was bored the other day and since I couldn't find the shape of sight I wanted, I made one. Sorry for the photo quality but my camera is not wanting to focus. I used an early winchester sight that somebody had already bubba'd up and welded some ears on it(I made a heat sink so I wouldn't lose the spring), filed for several hours, kept measuring till it was as concentric as I could, and sighted it in. Shoots good and fit my old 1909 Model 94 in 32WS.
What do yall think?

That is indeed a nice looking sight there. Hand crafted workmanship is a beautiful thing. Let us know how it works out at the range!

No, but the next one I make will.pokey wrote:pretty cool. does it fold down?
Yeah, it is a little on the tall side but thats the way I wanted it because my eyesight is starting to fail me some. I did try it at the range(out my back door at 70yds) and it shoots right on at the lowest setting. The old girl still groups good for me which means about 2 1/2"avg out at 70yds standing. Even though the barrel has been cut and the magazine tube, this is fast becomeing one of my favorite rifles.

Looks good, works good, and you did it yourself. What more could you ask for?
Re: Couldn't find a full buckhorn so I made one..
The Austin & Halleck muzzleloader, that I sold on this forum, had a rear sight similar to yours - I liked it !
They make for much more accurate shooting than flat-topped open sights - that's fer sure.

Looking good to me Morgan! Never shot a full buckhorn myself but it seems to work for folks.
