✅ SOLVED Rear rifle sight id needed

[mick56]

I have this rear rifle sight, looks like it's either cast steel or cast iron. Anybody know what it's off of?

Oldie but goodie,..........

One of the guys here may recognize it.

Send a picture to "Jack First Gun Parts" if not.
Also, you can check the "Dixie Gun Works" catalog,......
(they sell replica parts)

It's pretty close to what CVA was using on their muzzleloaders in the 1970's. Whether that was a copy of an earlier design . . . I would say is most likely.

Screw adjustable for both windage and elevation - which is nice. But you are missing the dovetail piece that would attach to the barrel and also allow windage adjustment. And there you see the weakness of the design. That screw gets loose and the sight falls off.

I believe that is it, thank you.
