Zouave Rifle Rear Sight - Options?

[Howie1968]

Are there any rear sight options for the Zouave (repro) that would allow for windage/elevation adjustments?

I got a Navy Arms 'Buffalo Hunter"(essentially a sporterized Zouave) coming in.
Read the thread and didn't see anything about a rear mounted peep sight.
Is such a sight available?

Thanks,

The one in the post just before this was made by flipping up the existing sight leaves and drilling them though that was on a Zouave and the Buffalo Hunter may have a different rear sight.

On my Zouave, I drilled a small hole on the back site, left of the notch and right on top of the folding leaf screw and then I took off the factory front, soldered and new taller front site, same shape as original. Meets all rules that I have run up against in matches and with Lee Minnie hollow base mini and 50 grn of 2F it shoots very good groups at 50 & 100 yds on paper. I shot 80 of 2F one time for a doe hunt and took one at 30 yds.

How did you solder on the front sight. Does it damage the blueing
