Fiber Ptic Sights for my handi
« on: December 13, 2009, 08:33:40 AM »
My wife is giving me a Handi 45/70 for Christmas. I'd like to change the sights to the fiber optic variety. Anyone know where I might find some?

Congrats on the 45-70. You will love it.

Sight info can be found in the FAQ's   http://www.gboreloaded.com/forums/index.php/topic,26264.0.html

Midwayusa.com will be a good source for the sights.

I think that Williams makes most of the fiber optics sights you see on factory guns. TC, H&R, Rossi, whatever. In fact I have a set off a TC .22 waiting to jump on a Handi.

I'll check them out. I also saw a handi with a front sight very similar to a Ruger #1 wrap around ramp if you know what I mean. Sharp looking with a barrel mounted sling swivel.  New stock and forearm might also be in the mix.
