Thread: Who still uses open sights ?

I’ve got this one on my trapper, it’s a solid and well protected sight.

Does the silver insert help in low light?have trouble seeing my ghost ring in dark bush.

I brought the sight thinking it was threaded to take apertures, but it wasn’t so I turned that stainless piece up intending to glue it in. But then I just used it as is and was happy.

Yes ofcorse I shoot Black powder a lot so comes with the Territory

Got this for a couple of hundy of TM
Couldnt group for sh#t at 100m using 20 rnds of PPU
But could hit a steel gong at 250 using crappy mixed bag of ammo, go figure !

Yea its not too bad, pretty good bluing and all round unmolested sporter condition.
Its stamped FTR 1953 as well, so maybe had this done prior to sporterisation ?
The muzzle does have a ding on the outer edge, the inner closer to the barrel looks OK tho.
The barrel was fulled with crap/corosion as i think it had been fired ages ago , but not cleaned.
I scrubbed the crap out of it after soaking it overnight with hoppes, seemed OK afterward
