Fowler rear sight
« on: March 10, 2013, 04:48:34 PM »
Does anyone have a picture or pictures of a butterfly type rear sight sometimes seen on French fowler's and occasionally on Hudson Valley types? Iv'e seen them, but never a close up.

Hi Robby,
I believe the rear sights pictured below were attached to the barrels by a band that went around the barrel like a belt.
