    1853 Enfield rear sight ladder

    Does anyone make a rear sight ladder with an uncut slot similar to what is available for the Smith Carbine. I would prefer to cut my own slot in it.

    Thanks in advance

    Daryl - You can add a piece to the back of the sighting face of the sight on the ladder as per the Rules:

    Section 19.9.1 (SIGHTS (HAND AND SHOULDER ARMS)

    (j) Long‐range sights may be modified only by the addition of metal to the vertical height and the thickness of the sighting notch area of the ladder or slide. The added metal shall not exceed the width of the original area to which it is attached, it shall not increase the original thickness by more than 1/16‐inch (.0625?) and the total height of the notch or peep area shall not exceed 1/2‐inch (.500?).
