Remington rolling block 7mm carbine model

Post by Ozarkwoodswalker » Sat Jul 08, 2023 7:02 pm

I got one in good shape and its lots of fun to shoot but my old eyes are not up to the open sights. Anyone know if there are peep sight options that will fit this old gun?? Thanks.

Depends on what it has for sights, now. If it has a rear sight that uses a standard 3/8" (.375") dovetail, you can replace it with a http://skinnersights.com/barrel_mount_6.html. I've used the Skinner barrel peep on several old rifles.

If it's worth it to you, a good gunsmith can drill and tap as needed to add a sight.

Check with Montana Vintage Arms and if you have a picture of where it mounts I might have a sight off and old Shiloh Sharps that might work. If so I would give it to you

Don't worry about getting older and still doing stupid stuff. You'll do the stupid stuff as always, only much slower. Hold my beer and watch this.......
