T/C Rear sight thread size

[gmww]

I picked up an obsolete T/C rear tang sight. The style that resembles the soule sights on the Sharps. Anyway, the hole in the peep is really small and not suitable for hunting. I was thinking about replacing it with a Merit rear sight that adjusts.

My question. Anyone happen to know the thread size on this sight? Thanks.

Do you mean the hole in the aperture is too small? Also, does your aperture unscrew? I use the T/C Tang Peep sights (current style). Williams apertures, screw right in, in place of the standard T/C aperture.

Yes the exit hole on the peep is too small. The appeture with the small exit hole is what I'm reffering to. It's about a 3/4" disc like the Sharps have. I have the Williams peeps but they are too large.

I was hoping to get something like this but I'm not sure what the thread size it.

I can't really measure it right now at it is with John Taylor who is working on my gun.

The Merrit is a 7/32x40 thd, the TC is a 10-32thd. If you have the sight like mine.

So if your correct, I'll need to buy the one that fits the browning.
