I recently purchased an 1861 Springfield Armi Sport reproduction. It is missing the front sight and doesn’t show any evidence of where the sight was on the barrel. I ordered a replacement and have received it. I’m wondering how far back from the muzzle to place it. If any of you have this rifle could you post the distance from the muzzle. I ordered the taller front sight so I will be able to regulate it for mostly target shooting and don’t have a bayonet so that isn’t a big consideration. Thanks.
