Making a 1803 Harpers Ferry flintlock rear sight

Larry (Omaha) · Nov 30, 2022

I see lots of posts on here about sights missing, broken, don't fit etc. Anyone who has a hack saw, file, vice and Dremel has the tools to make a basic sight. The Dremel is just used to make the concave divit at the slot and could be done with a cordless drill. Here is the material to start and finished sight.

Hi, very nice sight.
What did you make it out of please and do you have any dimensions?
I just purchased a Antonio Zoli model and it turned up with no rear sight.
