Finally made the trip and came back with the Trapdoor.

Good luck and enjoy! I've had my 1884 TD since my Dad bought it for me around '66 or so. I have tried ever since to wear it out, and it still shoots as good now as it did then. You will find the sights to be okay. I made a new front sight for mine (kept the old one to replace and make it original - still have the original front sight too) as it shot very high at 100 yards. YMMV.

I cast PB boolits with 20:1.

Congratulations.

I replaced my front sight with a higher one, thatI zeroed at 100 yards. It answered all sight corrections on the Buffington out to 500 yards, as far as I've shot it so far.
