Uberti 1860 Army front sight
I drilled and tapped the center of the arbor and put a screw in it. I filed the screw head down until the clearance was right. After I did it I found a different way to do it that is more elegant. If I ever do another one I will do it that way. You can find it here in article number 4... -

Uberti 1860 Army front sight
I shimmed the arbor to adjust the length and knocked the front sight out with a couple light hits on a brass punch and am in the process of fitting a new sight out of 1/8th inch thick brass. I hope to try it out this weekend. -

Might not be quite that far. At 7 yards it is hitting the top of the black on a NRA bullseye target with a 6 o'clock hold. -

Uberti 1860 Army front sight
I am not sure I could get it deep enough to get 10 inches at 25 yards. I am going to file it to correct windage. -

Uberti 1860 Army front sight
Has anyone here installed a taller front sight on a Uberti 1860 Army? I just acquired one and it is shooting high at 25 yards. I'd like to install a taller sight to correct it to point of aim at that distance. I have found several places that say how to put a taller sight on a Pietta but none...
