Pedersoli Ghost Ring Tang Sight

[Ruffedgrouse]

I just bought a Pedersoli RS-DP-GRS Ghost Ring Tang Sight from Track of the Wolf for my Thompson Center 50 cal. Hawken Flintlock Rifle. It doesn't even come close to fitting the holes in the tang. I wouldn't mind using the rear tang screw hole and then drilling a hole in the tang for the front screw but the screw and screw head are waaay to big for the rear of the sight bracket..

It looks like my only option is to drill 2 additional holes in the tang and use the tiny screws that came with it for mounting the bracket onto the tang.

Any suggestions?

Pictures of the sight, screws, and your breech and tang might help get responses.

Most Ace hardware and True Value hardware stores carry an assortment of gun screws. You should be able to find some that will work for your application. You may still need to drill and tap one hole if you plan to use the existing rear tang screw hole.
