1842 Rifled Musket Sights

[hobbler]

As stated elsewhere, I love the Fremont despite the lack of windage adjustment on the sights. What do you fellas do for remedy to windage changes? Just hold off as much as needed? Or has a standardized means of mechanical adjustment been arrived at?

[hobbler]

Nobody adjusts the windage on these rascals?

How far off target are you? You could put a slight bend in the barrel, HP can tell you how, or you could shim the barrel, find how far you need to go, then glass bed that spot, as long as the band fits.

[gemmer]

Fill in the rear sight notch with epoxy and cut a new one. A bit of trial and error. OR, twist the front band and shim it in place when you find the right spot. Also trial and error.

Is this an original or repop? Several options are available, depending on which it is.
