Sights For CVA

[dispatch 510]

I am in the process of refurbishing a old cva caplock. I would like to replace the factory rear sight with a more traditional sight,There are several differant sizes. Can some tell what is the correct height to match the factory front sight. Thanks in advance for any info.

Its a halfstock with a 28 inch barrel, I think its called a ST Louis.

I did the same thing a few years ago with my CVA, and I'm not a great gunsmith by any stretch.

I bought a buckhorn rear and a brass blade front sight from Dixie Gun Works. Installed them in the existing dovetails. Took some files to the range, and had it sighted in in a couple of hours.

Easy change.

How did you redo yours? I stripped the stock and restained it with mini wax red maple and I have browned the barrel.Gouing to brown the hammer and tang this weekend and do some tack work on the stock,leaving the brass as is,nice and tarnished.
