Recently acquired a TC Seneca .36 caliber. Also have a TC Seneca .32 cal barrel with no sights.
I want to move the sights from the .36 cal to the .32 Cal.
What is the correct procedure?
Thanks!
Jim
 
You have to remove the elevation adjustment screw (don't lose the spring); you should then be able to pivot the sight up in the base and get access to the screws that hold the base to the barrel.
 
The heads on those screws are thin & soft. And TC used some kinda industrial strength gorilla glue on their threads so they're easily and frequently broken off. With a proper screwdriver in the slot give it a few good taps with a small hammer to try to loosen the bond.

Thanks for the good advise here concerning removing the rear sight
Discovered that there is a difference in spacing

What is the correct direction to push the front sight out?

Found a 3rd variation rear sight with 9/16 inch spacing between holes so should not need to drill.
Thanks!
Jim

Jim is it just the rear sight? If so I probably have a sight I would let go. Do you need a Cherokee sight? No need to switch back and forth just asking for trouble. PM me with what you need
 
My TC Renegade front sight drifts out to the right. So holding it as if you're going to shoot it, drive it out to the right.
There is a saying, "knock it RIGHT out, unless you want it LEFT in".
Be aware that putting in a new dovetail sight generally requires a bit of filing. Always file on the sight and not the dovetail in the barrel. A small triangular file is best. Make a couple passes at a time and test fit. A light coating of oil helps too.
 
Would love to see pictures of the TC Seneca .32 cal, only heard about them. I have 36 and 45 cal but never been near the mythological 32 cal.
