    1855 Springfield rear leaf sight vs the Zouave leaf sight Question?

    They look the same, but the Zouave sight base is shorter. What are the base lengths of each???? Thanks

    Hallo!

    I can do one, but do not have an original Remington or research on it...

    The " short range 1858" RM rear sight measured 1.25 inches long, .66 wide, and .41 tall. I recall, correctly or not... the Rifle sight being slightly different a bit, but cannot find my M1855 monograph at the moment.
    Way back in my memory is 1.25 X 66 X .44 inches for the Rifle, but cannot say for sure so someone else will have to be of help.
