Trap doors because of the complex nature of opening, fall into Traditional even though they eject Original 1885s that do not eject are Traditional Rolling Block - Traditional Handi rifles (1871 Buffalo & Target Classics) with extractor or ejector deactivated Traditional Sharps - Traditional Newer 1885s or Browning 78s fall into Modern Handi rifles (1871 Buffalo & Target Classics) with ejectors Modern “For those shooting 1871 Buffalo or Target Classics, the Williams Barrel Mounted Peep Sight is not legal. But, if you remove the Peep Sight and replace it with an Open Leaf Sight Blade, that sight in that location is now legal.” Frontier Lone Rider PaleWolf Brunelle, #2495L 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. An example of this is the various ladder type sights used on the Springfield trapdoors. This barrel-mounted peep sight is NOT LEGAL: Kid Rich All of the part of the barrel that the cartridge fits in is the receiver. PaleWolf Brunelle, #2495L It's still part of the barrel...NOT the receiver. The length of the CHAMBER is included when measuring barrel length on a break-open long gun. I posted definitions (with illustrations) from the ATF website. PaleWolf Brunelle, #2495L Which would convert the "barrel-mounted peep sight" to an "open iron sight mounted on the barrel". ATF: Figure 6 to Paragraph (a) (4) (vi) Frontier Lone Rider Referencing the above illustration for Break Action Firearms, the sight mounted on the rear of the barrel is still mounted on the barrel as the receiver is the part that the barrel is connected to, but not a part of. So, are you saying that one can remove the peep sight leaving the base and insert an open leaf sight blade on that base and it would be acceptable? I believe the Willams Sight that comes on the Buffalo Classic or Target Classic in actually mounted on the barrel. However, Peep Sights are not allowed in that position. They are allowed on the Wrist (Tang) or modified Ladder Sight with a hole drilled in the slide.
