    replacement -UPGRADED sights for Smith Carbine

    Besides the usual suttlers does anyone make/sell an upgraded Smith Carbine rear sight? I am not happy with the quality of the rear sight provided as original on the Pedersoli Smith. I know at least one Sharps replacement which is awesome and am looking for the same quality.

    Your Smith is probably a Pietta not a Pedersoli. What exactly is the issue you want to correct? You can get replacement slides or blank slides to improve the sight picture.

    Crop crop crop. You have to crop the pictures to get within the file size limit.

    This was the first sight I made. The new version pictured in the batch photo is a bit thicker and uses a 4-40 machine screw. The sight is made of steel and is rust blued.

    For my own knowledge, when did it become legal to add a set screw to a ladder sight of a Smith and isn't the altered sight supposed to remain dimensionally consistent with the original?
