    Miroku 1861 Springfield Sight Question

    Does anyone know if the R. Cross sights made for an original will fit the Japanese '61 ? At the very lease, would the sight leaf screw have the same threads ? Thanks

    Just spoke to Rich for you. His sights are identical to original ones. He thinks the Miroku base is wider than his leaf and the Japanese screw is metric. He said one option is to buy a complete Cross sight from one of the sutlers, such as Lodgewood.
