Tang sight

[RanchRoper]

Anybody familiar with this on their single shot? Thoughts?

RR, no experience with that sight, but Marbles is still in the tang sight business for 1885s at about half that price. Here's a Marbles on my 1885 Low Wall 22 LR. When ordering, you order the sight and then add the correct screw set.


I also added a Lyman globe front, to complete the setup.


One of my proudest possessions

I just saw this one...on right track? Easy to mount?

Cimarron does not have much in the way of tang sights, so I will order the rifle stock with factory sights and see what it shoots like first. Likely add one of these later on, once I see what's what.

[North Country Gal]

The one from Buffalo Arms should work just fine. Don't forget to order the screw set. Have had good luck ordering items from them.

[RanchRoper]

Appreciated, thanks.

[RanchRoper]

This one looks good too, and should be an easy fit.

I used MVA sights on the Shilohs. They are great sights but expensive. I was using there Long range sights one called the Buffalo Soule sight. I also used what they called the Hadley eye cup. Its adjustable with different size holes in the cup. https://www.buffaloarms.com/target-iron ... y-eye-cups. Im not sure what I would do in your case but I know you will figure that out.

I will go with this one. I think it will work well for me, not as fragile looking as some others and it has old school cool factor for the rifle. Very Tom Horn-ish...(Tom Horn-y didn't sound right)...

I'll be following this recent purchase of yours, closely, by the way. Love my Miroku 1885s, but they don't chamber them in revolver rounds, which I think is a shame. I may be opting for a Uberti Low Wall in the future for shooting 357 or 45 or similar.

[RanchRoper]

My dealer says they are discontinued at Cimarron. Not enough demand.
They have a 44-40 and 45-70 only.

So the hunt is on for 45 Colt. We'll see. Too bad.

[North Country Gal]

Sorry to hear that. Taylors? Just checked the Taylor's website and they are showing it as in stock.

[RanchRoper]

They show it but they don't have it. Checked. Thanks.

Cimarron is checking with the factory in Italy to see what they have. I told them hi wall or low wall, but I want straight stock if I can get it. Fingers crossed should know in a day or so. If they cannot import one, we will get Taylor's to order one I think.

Hey, RR. This thread "ended" on April 30th. Did you pick it up somewhere else and finish it out there? I've always liked the looks of tang sights, and just wondering about your final results....

Taylors has sights so I ordered one on the rifle. Marbles I think, can't recall. But its a flip up tang.

This one. Lyman sight.
