ill measure it for you it came this way when i bought it off this forumn 3 years ago a 1.5 mm allen key just fits it i may go up a size to open it a little more
 
I got a Navy Arms 'Buffalo Hunter"(essentially a sporterized Zouave) coming in.
Read the thread and didn't see anything about a rear mounted peep sight.
Is such a sight available?

Thanks,
 
The one in the post just before this was made by flipping up the existing sight leaves and drilling them though that was on a Zouave and the Buffalo Hunter may have a different rear sight.
 
On my Zouave, I drilled a small hole on the back site, left of the notch and right on top of the folding leaf screw and then I took off the factory front, soldered and new taller front site, same shape as original. Meets all rules that I have run up against in matches and with Lee Minnie hollow base mini and 50 grn of 2F it shoots very good groups at 50 & 100 yds on paper. I shot 80 of 2F one time for a doe hunt and took one at 30 yds.

How did you solder on the front sight. Does it damage the blueing
