Better sights for Traditions St. Louis Hawken

[James Beardsley]

Building it from a kit and my old eyes need fiber optic sights. Thanks, James

Have you thought of the Lyman 16 AML rear and 37 ML front bead set? I put these on the Tradition Kentucky.and they worked
out good

I put a Williams Fire Dot front sight on a recent build. The barley corn front sight was difficult to see. I remove that sight from the dovetail and pushed the red fiber sight into place.

Are you asking which direction?

I drive them from right to left. Never thought about it think i do it that way cause I'm right handed.

I don't think there's a set direction, although I've seen it specified for a few modern firearms.

just finished speaking with a friend that has built a few flinters and he said as a rule traditions and others are drive right in and drive from the left to get them out. say there is only .001" or so difference from end to end of the sight dove tails.
