Southern Mountain Rifle Rear Sight (BACKORDERED)

The sight is fine.

This rifle looks great and shoots even better! It’s a clean build. Very petite, light in the hand, well fitted and very accurate! Would not hesitate at all if you’re on the fence about this flintlock! It was my first build and couldn’t have gone together any better.

Sights are extremely low and tiny. Because the site plane is so long, any reflection or glare makes the sites almost impossible to see. My suggestion, raise the rear sight and raise the front sight considerably so there is room for sighting in. Also a somewhat wider front sight would much improve the sight picture.

Order was fulfilled expeditiously and the sight properly prepped and installed. Coming from outside the flintlock muzzleloader world, though, I really can't fathom why rough castings of small parts requiring end user detailing and finishing are considered to be the norm, whereas anywhere else in the gun world a part delivered in this condition would be considered defective and unacceptable.
