1903 rear sights

Bass-smasher · 06-26-2005, 11:12 AM

Hey I own and old 1903. Is on of earlier models with the ladder sights, Is there any after market rear sight that can replace the factory one and can be installed fairly easy? The original one shoots about 8-12 inches @ 100 yds and was not made for closer targeting. Any Ideas? :assult:

Probably be easier and cheaper to change the front sight - either a taller or shorter one, depending on the error. Keep the original for collector value, and regulate the new one to the distance you need. :right:
