Rear sight for Kibler Fowler

[BigAl52]

Is there anyway a rear sight can be added to Kiblers Fowler? Ive never owned a smoothie or shot one. Im thinking of getting one but I would probably shoot more RB out of mine than anything else. Maybe Im making a mistake and should just get a rifled gun. But seeing and reading how much fun they are has peaked my interest. Im wondering how one shoots one with RB and only a front sight. Im sure there is a learning curve on where to hold it on target.

At the CLA show in Kentucky several years ago, they had an excellent full room display of original mls. Most of the Fowlers had rear sights! I never could figure out why rear sights on Fowlers were not allowed in competition. Not trying to start an argument here but there is plenty of room on the rear of the barrel to have a dovetail cut in. Or like Buff said, get a peep sight for the tang screw. There is a forum member here who makes and sells a good looking sight.

That is so simple: Call Kibler, tell them your intentions/questions and they will do all they can to help you.

Did you make that yourself or buy it from a member? I like it and it looks great
