i recently picked up a '57 39a mountie. it's one sweet rifle. but the sights (the rear is no longer original) leave something to be desired.
i've been looking around and i think i want a williams fp receiver peep rear (fp-39-tk), and the lyman globe front (17ahb). does anyone have this combo? is the height of the 17ahb globe front compatible with the williams rear?
i was considering the skinner as well, but like the idea of the easy adjusting fp with the target knobs. on another forum, a fella had the skinner receiver sight but the 17ahb globe was too tall and he had to have the ramp removed and a dovetail cut into the bbl. i'm not willing to do that. my thought is that the williams has more adjustablility and could work. just wondering if anyone can confirm it.
thanks.
