    1863 IAB cavalry sight change?

    A piece of black electrical tape with a pin hole is pretty similar to the EyePal disc.

    1863 IAB cavalry sight change?

    If you are having trouble seeing the sights you might try an EyePal stick on disc on your shooting glasses. Your mid-barrel rear sight should be about pistol distance I'd guess. Also you might try safety glasses with just .5 adjustment to enhance the rear sight without blurring out the target...

    Nipple Advice

    Track of the Wolf’s online catalog lists a shorter 1/4x28 for TC rifles plus the longer one you have for general use. I also think your longer one should be fine.

    Mine is browned steel framed .50. The drop in the stock is comfortable for me but the fine front sight is becoming a bit hard to see. (when I got reading glasses the eye doctor chuckled and and said I was just the right age).

    CLOSED Remington 1858

    I have a Navy Arms (Pietta) Remington 1858 with the adjustable rear sight. Looks almost new, may be unfired.

    Failing eyes- loosing the front sight cure

    This year I've started using 0.5 clear safety glasses to sharpen up my focus. I've also considered a wider front sight and a 6 o clock hold on my Pedersoli Tryon, the factory sight is pretty narrow.

    I can’t see my sights

    I've started wearing 0.5 safety glasses to sharpen up my view of the sights, it's worked pretty well. Previously I had bifocal reading/safety glasses so I could more easily focus on the muzzle while loading.

    Intrest in a Gardner Bullet mold?

    So it will reproduce the bullet after the paper tube was removed for loading - what diameter bullet are you aiming for?

    Intrest in a Gardner Bullet mold?

    The Gardener bullets flange was pressed around the base of a paper tube using a foot operated die, the tube was then filled with powder and tied off. I've read of some reproduction Gardener press being made. I wonder if a push thru die similar to what Lee makes would work?
