Traditions sights

[abc123]

I was wondering what i could use to replace the crappy plastic sights that came with my traditions kit. For the front the lyman sight for the .360 dovetail should fit but what about the rear sight? The barrel is one with the two holes, williams has a sight that fits "large octagon barrels with .5625 hole spacing" and marbles makes a #20 with 9/16 spacing will these fit, also are there any other options. Thanks

If the holes on your barrel are 9/16" (which is .5625") apart, either sight will work. Your barrel will be either a 15/16" or 1" diameter, which would qualify as "large". If the holes are the wrong distance apart, you ought to be able to use one of them and drill and tap a new second one.

The holes are .570 apart i was hoping there would be enough slop in the sight holes to get it on, or i will have to slot one of the holes. I think i will order the williams sight and hopefully it will work. Thanks
