Slip Hammer Yates 8456 Posted November 20, 2023 Share Posted November 20, 2023 I have a 1894 Cowboy limited in 44/40 and noticed the rear sight insert was missing. Tried ebay, Midwest, and Gun Parts Corp. but no one has them. Anyone know where I can get one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoss Posted November 20, 2023 Share Posted November 20, 2023 Are you talking about the step elevator or the little tiny gizmo that goes in the buckhorn? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slip Hammer Yates 8456 Posted November 20, 2023 Author Share Posted November 20, 2023 Didn't think they would have parts like that. Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garrison Joe, SASS #60708 Posted November 20, 2023 Share Posted November 20, 2023 Got a few from Buffalo Arms just a month ago. Quick. Brownells, Midway, Jack First are distributors for Marbles Sights and should be able to get them, too. Ask for the Marbles Notch Piece & Screw Set good luck, GJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bailey Creek,5759 Posted November 21, 2023 Share Posted November 21, 2023 I know someone that replaced it with a brass, flat washer. Almost like a peep sight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Almost like a peep sight. FYI: If the washer has a complete hole (i.e. not filed down to open up the top) it is ILLEGAL under SASS RULES. The only peep sights listed as allowed for main match rifles are: - Rear sights must either be open iron sights mounted on the barrel or original style tang or stock wrist mounted peep sights. Long range rear barrel mounted sights of the flip-up ladder type may use a peephole drilled through the sliding sight leaf. (SHB p.30) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaleWolf Brunelle, #2495L Posted November 21, 2023 Share Posted November 21, 2023 ...and don't forget to black out that white diamond! (or install the insert backwards if possible) "- Rear sights may utilize an insert of the same color as the rear sight to allow easy sight adjustment."

Widder, SASS #59054 Posted November 21, 2023 Share Posted November 21, 2023 I don't think this will help you (but maybe it will) but on most of those rear sights, when that blade is removed it leaves a nice 'U' shape sight that works great with some of the larger front sights. And personally, I took my rear sight off because I didn't think we need em for SASS target distances. Just ask yeowndangself........ "What would Ben Cartwright do"? ..........Widder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
