The gun in question is an antique Colt m1860 Army, which has had the barrel and cylinder replaced with antique parts (and those parts ar re-numbered to fit the gun) at some time. It´s a very nice fully functional gun though with nice deep patina and 90+% scene on the cylinder. I´m going to use it as a shooter, but the frontsight is pretty worn and from experience (I haven´t testshot it yet) I think I´ll probably have to aim a full meter below the bullseye at 25m with the sight that is on it now.
I have never had reason to think about how the frontsight on a m1860 is attached. Nor have ever I had a reason to look for replacement frontsights.
Can you help me here?
How´s the frontsight attached on a Colt m1860
Are there any vendors (prefferably online) who have replacement frontsights?
Regards!
