Uberti 1860 Army front sight
I went to a sight calculator I found with a google search. I left it taller than the calculator said and am going to take a file to the range with me to get it adjusted for the sight picture that suits me. Here's a calculator I used. https://dawsonprecision.com/sight-calculator/ -

Uberti 1860 Army front sight
I didn't like the screw in the end of the arbor. I don't have a drill press and drilled it a little off center so I used M. De Land's idea and bought a couple washers that fit the arbor hole pretty close and filed one of them to get the correct clearance and epoxied them in place. It worked... -

That should be part 4 of tuning Uberti revolvers. -

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... -

Got it on. Now I just need to take it to the range and see where its hitting and make final adjustments. -

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. -

Uberti 1860 Army front sight
There is no dovetail on the Uberti. 8 Bore was right. I shot it again yesterday and it was 4 1/2 to 5 inches high at 25 yards not 10 inches. I shot 3 different powder charges ranging from 22 to 30 and the results were pretty close to the same other than the higher charge shifting things a tad... -

Uberti 1860 Army front sight
I checked it and mine looks fine. I could get a .0025 feeler gauge to fit between the barrel and cylinder but a .003 wouldn't so the way I figure it has be out less than .0005 if at all. I am taking out to the range again tomorrow to see how far off it is at 25 yards and will try my hand at... -

Uberti 1860 Army front sight
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...
