So I got my little .32-20 converted BSA up and running today. It's immediately obvious that the accuracy potential is not going to be fully realized with the combination of 43 year old eyes and open sights. Thought I ask the more learned members about what my options are.
The rifle looks to be one of the early Cadets - the rear tang of the receiver is not tapped, but somebody already tapped the left sidewall, so I'm not worried about collectibility on this one.
There appear to be a few options for sights that mount on the tang. Any preferred variation and why?
EDIT TO ADD: And sources for same. I wouldn't be surprised if I have to troll outside the U.S. market.
The original front sight appears to be a dovetail that's been blended in - possibly brazed in place. Does anyone know if it's a common spec dovetail, and how hard it is to move? I see a Lyman 17A or similar in its future.
Thanks in advance!
