WANTED Rear sight for Zoli 1841 "Mississippi" rifle

[matchlock1607]

Hello,

I am looking for the stock rear sight that came on a Zoli reproduction 1841 rifle. If you have one you'd like to sell, please let me know.

If you are looking for the "Tombstone" type, meaning the simple small metal one, that you drift side to side for windage,,,,,,, They can be made very easy with a piece of "bar stock", or upside down "T" bar.
Just file the piece to make it fit your dovetail, make it 3/8th in tall, and file a "V", or straight notch in it, and you are done. File the notch for what ever powder charge and projectile you are going to use.
Easy peasy.

Keep an eye on E-Bay. Lots of gun parts. Good luck!

I have looked, but haven't seen a sight. I did find a lock.

Hard to tell from photos, but photos of the rear sight on Zoli Mississippi rifles look like they may be the same as what’s on my Pedersoli. Might be able to get one from Pedersoli?

Try some of the ads in Muzzle Blasts or Muzzleloader; Cabin Creek Products, Dixie, etc.

I can try some of those- thank all of you for the advice. I have ordered one from Dixie, but it was too small for the dovetail cut in the barrel.
