Hello all,
I was hoping to get some suggestions on a little project of mine.
I recently picked up someone else's project 1895.
It started life as a 2004 Guide Gun
The previous owner slapped on a barrel from an 1895CB. He chopped about 2" off to remove the front sight dovetail and mount the guide gun front sight ramp instead. He also added some other brand semi buckhorn rear sight which was either smaller to begin with or he filed the rear sight dovetail a bit too much allowing for a little light under it. Either way I was hoping for something a little nicer looking in the back. Maybe a Marbles.
Well I decided I wanted to make a trapped out of it. I chopped her to 16.5"
Now I need to choose a new front and new rear sight.
I've been digging through looking for something cool. I was thinking a Marbles rear semi buckhorn and maybe a skinner brass blade front. Though I did just see a really cool pedersoli brass flip up sight which goes from a globe with a post and bead to a plain old blade. Super cool
Is anyone running one of these on their lever gun?

I guess I really need to do the math and figure out what sight height i'm going to need.
suggestions and pictures are much appreciated!
