    I ordered the following rear & front sights from "Track of the Wolf, Inc.". http://www.trackofthewolf.com/categories/partdetail.aspx?catid=14&subid=167&styleid=769&partnum=rs-la http://www.trackofthewolf.com/Categories/partDetail.aspx?catId=14&subId=167&styleId=762&partNum=FS-CA-1B I'll file...

    Bob, If I install a taller rear sight (like this one - http://www.trackofthewolf.com/categories/partdetail.aspx?catid=14&subid=167&styleid=769&partnum=rs-la ), should I install a taller front sight? Thanks, Tim

    After handling the rifle a little more, I think I've got it. You don't shoulder it like a typical centerfire rifle. It's a learning thing. Thanks for all the advice folks! Tim

    This is all new to me... The position in which I need to be in to align the sights feels very unnatural. I've shot other kit style muzzleloaders and had no issues. My cousin has a Hawken rifle, I pull it up as I would a normal centerfire rifle, and the sights align perfectly. Is the Kentucky...

    If I put the butt plate to my shoulder like a regular rifle, I need to slant my head until the upper part of my cheek bone is resting on the top of the comb, in order to get correct sight alignment. A very uncomfortable and unnatural position indeed.

    Bob, So you're saying that the gun isn't meant to be shouldered like regular hunting rifle? Like my Savage 30-06?

    Bob, Excellent idea! I'm going to take a look through my tool box "junk drawer". I'm sure I'll be able to find a suitable spring in there. Thanks, Tim

    "Track of the Wolf" has a screw adjustable rear sight for $10.99. I figure for $10.99 it's worth a try. Plus I'll have a rear sight adjustable for elevation.

    necchi, When you say "stone", what exactly do you mean? Like a knife sharpening stone, or is there such a thing as gun smithing stones? Thanks, Tim

    Actually, the more I handle the rifle, the more I think it's a "length of pull" issue. If I put the butt plate in my bicep area, instead of the shoulder, the sights align fine.

    SgtSchutzen, The sight look exactly like that. When I sight down the barrel the complete front sight assembly appears about a half inch above the top of the rear sight blade. I agree with CoyoteJoe, the stock comb is high, but way too much stock would need to be removed. So I think replacing the...

    [/url] CoyoteJoe, I agree, but I'd have to remove at least a 1/2" from the comb for the sights to work. I think I've found something that will work on trackthewolf. Thanks for the help! Tim

    That helps! It seems like the main spring is one tight son of a gun. But I suppose that's the nature of the beast. I'm more aquatinted with the triggers on my Kimber 1911, and Colt Python...Light and smooth as glass. Thanks for the help!
