I bought a T/C factory rear sight off E-bay and was wondering if T/C or an aftermarket company makes a ghost ring insert for the factory sight?

My son put a Williams Fool Proof on an Encore barrel utilizing the scew holes for a scope mount.

Thanks for the reply.I really like the Factory T/C sight (newer model) and was wondering if someone has come up with a ghost ring insert for the Factory sight itself.

E. Arthur Brown (eabco.com) also offers a weaver style base with a peep sight incorporated into the rear of it.  Not sure how it works, but I was tempted for my Encore muzzleloader set-up.

If I were going to add a ghost ring site to an encore, I would use the one from eabco.  It allows you to remove your optics & utilize the ghost ring as your backup sites immediately.  Would be great if you suddenly discovered your scope was broken.

I bought a Williams peep and put on my Encore muzzleloader.  Screwed right in to the holes for the scope base.  I removed the peep and just use the ring with no screw in peep.  Just the right size for me.

A 'Veteran' -- whether active duty, discharged, retired, or reserve -- is someone who, at one point in his life, wrote a blank check made payable to 'The United States of America,' for an amount of 'up to, and including his life.' That is honor, and there are way too many people in this country today who no longer understand that fact.
