« on: April 27, 2012, 12:26:44 PM »
Hi guys!
On inquiry, I will lay out photos of a Snaplock rifle I build some time ago :)Lucky me lend from a buddy a VERY NICE replica made from a original Norwegian Snaplock rifle with Bergen Lock.

Feltwad,
There appears to be an interesting rear sight on that gun, any chance of a pic of it ?
 Is it an aperture sight ?

Love the engraving.

The sight is a added large brass V sight if you look closely at the image you will see where the original V sight was
