Funny rear sight, think it's backwards.

Beyond reenacting/NSSA, these things make a dandy little woods rifle. Light, handy, and packs a wollop. My twin brother and I took a lot of deer with my dad's Cook and Brother as kids.

Funny rear sight, think it's backwards.

Could be just from not knowing which way it was 'sposed to go or could be to get it another 4 or 5 inches down the barrel for old eyes to be able to focus on it.

They really look like a lot of fun.

Not the correct rear sight. Should have a "Tombstone" rear sight similar to a early model Mississippi Mod 1841. Some one probably didnt like it, and changed it.

Hello. That looks right handy. However, your authentication isn't within the guidelines. It needs to be on a card, piece of paper, chunk of carboard, etc. in the photo next to the item for sale, not added to the photo.

The reason is we have had folks hack accounts of some of our long standing members and then post photos of items for sale which they don't own. Adding text to a photo then won't suffice. Thanks.

I agree. Additionally, the front sight was not dovetailed but was a single cast piece that was silver soldered on. I modified several of these and Mississippi rifles for shooters at my club so they could shoot in beef shoots and have better accuracy.
