Sight For Muskets

[[email protected]]

I thought I had read somewhere years ago that a real good rear sight for a
Musket such as the Euroarms "Musketoon" was the rear sight from a Martini
Cadet rifle. Well I looked on line a couple days ago and found one in Australia
for 35.00 I have a Musketoon 58 cal which I truly love and the sight is on the
way. Looks like it is adjustable for elevation and windage. Any of you out there use this sight?

Yep, I have one on my Euroarms 'Enfield Musketoon'. You are correct, the .310 rear sight is adjustable for both windage & elevation, they are a nicely made unit. You will most likely have to do some minor fitting, as the barrel contours differ so the sight won't sit flush to the musket's barrel.

Thanks for the reply. Did you grind the bottom of the sight so it would fit the
barrel better? and do you have to drill & tap a hole in the barrel?
