I keep reading about how a large number of shooters put after market rear sights on their colt revolvers.
In the stories the rear sights were installed/dove tailed into the barrel directly above the forcing cone.
Well as I have yet to find a photograph of one of these revolvers, just how was this process done?
And how hard/expensive would it be to do on a 1851 and later colt revolver?
On a side note, how much interference would the hammer create when the gun is fired?
