WANTED TC Tang Peepsight

[Trooper]

My eyes are getting worse as the years drag on, almost to the point of not being able to use the supplied sights on my Hawken.
As the title says, I'm in the market for a tang peep sight that will fit my TC Renegade 54 cal. I'm in Alberta and willing to pay premium for a good quality sight.
Cheers,
Grant.

Have you looked at the Lyman 57 SML or the Williams FP Hawken ? They do line up with the tang holes.
I enclosed a photo of them but these have the target knob instead of the screw adjustment.

Please check the legality of shipping “firearms components” optics or so called “tactical” sights internationally beforehand, the laws are vague at best and better to err on the side of caution.

Thanks Jim, no I’ve tried to find a border friendly company that would ship across the 49th but with zero luck. What are they worth on your side?

Yes that’s why I can’t locate any decent sights up here. Our muzzle loaders must have crossed the border at some point in order for us to own them. I fail to see why a simple tang site would cause such a headache.

They run between 60-110 USD if you can find them in stock
.Williams is the lower price ones

MISTER JIM EVANS, DO YOU KNOW IF THEY WILL FIT ON A 32CAL. TRADITION?

MISTER JIM EVANS, DO YOU KNOW IF THEY WILL FIT ON A 32CAL. TRADITION?

I can not say if they will fit a Tradition rifle, never looked into it.
If you contact Williams or Lyman they could tell you for sure. Or they may have a model that will fit the Tradition rifle.

I'm not Jim Evans but, with the short tang on Traditions guns you'd have to mount it on the wood behind the tang.

I just got off the phone with Williams gun sights. I was able to order a FP Hawken sight for my Hawken Renegade! They have them. The fellow I spoke with told me that my call was at the right time as they had been out of them for over a year. And the best news is they ship to Canukastan! He asked me about the truckers convoy happening in Ottawa and I told him that I hope Trudeaus time as prime minister is over quickly, and that Trudeau has run into hiding, claiming that he is covid positive. He stated that he would love to see Alberta as the 51st state. I totally agree with him in that regard.

That's great news, hope the sight keeps you in the 10 ring

They’re a good sight, but being barrel mounted and far away from these old peepers wouldn’t help me any. I need a tang sight rather than a barrel mounted sight. A tang sight increases the sight radius which lends itself to better accuracy.

Hawken with 45 cal. Green mountain barrel and tang sight assembled a few years ago and never fired

Beautiful. What twist rate is it?

 

[1971fx]

I will have to check to be sure

My wife has a 50 that she isn’t too happy with, she is quite recoil sensitive and I’d hate to see her being new at this lose interest because of the recoil. I’ve been toying with the idea of down sizing her barrel size. Maybe a 40 or 45 cal would be the answer for her.

 

[Trooper]

Just what she’d use for PRB. Are you willing to sell that rifle?
