Loaned my gun to a friend and he somehow managed to break the back sight off it. I have called and checked everywhere and I'm absolutely crippled for a muzzleloader without my back sight. Also if anyone knows of sight of the same style that will work without having to drill or tap anymore holes in the tang I could go that route.

Thanks for your time.
 
I would try Thompson Center. I called them about rear sight screws for the elevation on a Seneca, they sent me out two, no charge. It did take about 7 days but I was happy.

7194 was TC's "hunting tang rear sight" For the Hawken, Renegade, White Mountain Carbine, etc. Its screw adjustable. They occasionally appear for sale new and used. IIRC, Lyman made a sight that would fit, but its a bit bulkier in that its based on their receiver sight.

7197 (I think) was the similar sight used on the New Englander, Grey Hawk, and Tree Hawk (curved rear tang).
 
I have 4 TC Hawken rifles and I think each one has a different sight. In fact, the oldest one has different hole locations and are not interchangeable.

A picture would help.

This one is a little different but available for purchase. http://www.opticsplanet.com/thomps...ang-sight-t-c-muzzeloaders-steel.html[/quote]

That's the one he's looking for, #7194. I have one, it's a good sight. But I need to find some other discs with different size holes, I only have the one and it's a bit small.

I have one where the aperture size is adjustable. Don't know who made it, but it opens and closes by rotating the aperture. Came on a rifle I bought, and I'm keeping it.
 
Probably a Merit, I think Brownell's sells them. They work very good and I like mine a lot although not legal for aperture sights in NRA cartridge rifle events.
 
There are two variations of this sight. One has a flat base and mounts to the rear on the tang. The other has a slightly curved base and mounts forward on the tang. I haven't figured out why this is, I just know that it is. I have sights of both types. At first glance they look identical, but they aren't. Best be sure which kind you have to replace.

One is the 7194 and the other is the 7197. They fit flat tang and curved tang models respectively. Hawken, Renegade, and White Mountain Carbine are flat tang.

If you had a sight of the incorrect base variety, it could be adapted to fit with epoxy. The idea of the epoxy would be for better contact and less stress when tightening the mounting screws.
