Rear Sight
« on: May 19, 2012, 01:52:38 PM »
Has anyone ever modified a 1903a3 Springfield rear sight  to use on a Handi? It looks like it could be made to work . Should be a rugged aperture sight with easy adjustment. It would involve a custom base to fit the dovetail base but that should not be a problem, just require a little mill time.

I haven't used the Springfield, but I did use an M-1 carbine rear for a stubbed .32-20. Worked very well

Why be difficult, when with a little extra effort you can be impossible?
