First let me state that this musket is not intended to be used at an N-SSA match as it would not be legal there and I already know it.
I would like to put a Lyman globe front sight on my Zouave musket but the front barrel band will not fit over it when I go to take the barrel off for cleaning. I am asking here because there must have been some musket shooter that ran into this problem and solved it. I am a firm believer in not trying to re-invent the wheel so I am looking for someone with experience with this problem. There is too large a space needed so relieving the top of the globe and/or the inside of the band is not an option. I thought of just leaving the ban off or maybe some kind of a large rubber O ring or even a screw on hose clamp but nothing seamed appropriate that would keep the musket looking close to the original design. Got any Ideas?
