Rear Sight for Zuave

[RiverRat]

I want to replace my rear sight on my Navy Arms Antonio Zoli Zuave. I want something adjustable for elevation and windage. I am willing to file, chisel, sand or solder to make it fit. Any suggestions? Thanks

some of the guys here in west australia have put the rear sight from the martini cadet rifle and converteted the rear sight of the no/1 mk3/ 303 to fit the enfields and the remington Zoli Zuave. hope this is some help.

Yes, I'd also recommend the Martini Cadet rear sight. I installed one on my Euroarms Enfield Musketoon & they are very good, they are adjustable for both elevation & windage, sit quite low to the barrel & have protective 'ears'. Take a look at the photos, the elevation is adjusted by turning the knurled knob that sits in the middle of the sight, that runs along a ramp to either raise or lower the sight. Windage is adjusted with the knobs either side of the sight blade. You can often find them on the on-line auction sites like[url] GunBroker.com[/url] &[url] AuctionArms.com[/url], expect to pay about $90.

How would one install one of those sights? Tapped holes with screws?

Yes, there's a couple of screws holding it on, I just drilled & tappd the barrel. The contour of the barrel doesn't match that of the sight base exactly, so I got the base as close as I could with a file & filled the gaps with JB Weld, a "bit rough" but you can't tell without looking for it.
