Recommended Posts

Ask Coffinmaker.
We found a source a few years ago, but I can't remember who it was.

If I remember correctly, Ubertis have a dovetailed front sight & Piettas are soldered.

Be sure to check the width of the dovetails. Some of these sights use a larger dovetail than the .375" most commonly found on modern firearms.

Wouldn't a dovetailed front sight constitute an adjustable sight and therefore be legal in age based and BW only?

- Allowed Exceptions: Original open-top cartridge revolvers, cap and ball revolvers, cartridge conversion revolvers, and their modern made replicas may have either a dovetail front or rear sight, and they must conform to the types commonly found on the originals.

You guys are the best! Checked thru the suggestions and I'm going to measure a little but I think that brass skinner sight will work.  If all goes well, I'll have 1860 R-M w/brass front sight, checkered grips, turned down hammers and smooth action......maybe w/3 barrel lengths -ya' know one will be stubby!
