Considering putting a Skinner "Lo-Pro" on my BBB and removing the buckhorn. Drifting it out won't be a problem, but, what is that knob deal at the very rear of the buckhorn sight? Thanks for any help or info would be appreciated. Many thanks.

Not totally sure what the "knob deal" is on the buckhorn. My thought is that the smooth, rounded-shape would either help keep the sight from scratching the top of the barrel, or "level" the sight as you look through it?

Anyway, one thing I learned late on removing a buckhorn. There are a number of Forum chats on removing a buckhorn, but this thread provides an important suggestion, which all but eliminates the chance of scratching the barrel top with the sight. (I really marked up my barrel when I drifted out a buckhorn for the first time....didn't know this). Check this suggestion in Preacher's first thread comment: http://henryrifleforums.com/viewtopic.p ... ght#p61732

Ah, never mind. Figured it out. Pretty simple. Sheese.
