The factory buck horn and tiny front sight leave a lot to be desired. What have you all done to upgrade?

Not period correct like Bob's but a really decent sight I shoot well..Williams receiver sight with 3/8" twilight aperture and stock factory front blade. I don't care for a thick 2x4 looking front blade. ![[Linked Image]](https://i.postimg.cc/sxM4s2m3/IMG-4466.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](https://i.postimg.cc/NGWQtzfc/IMG-4464.jpg)

No sir, it’s a Providence tool co. copy of the #21. As for a front sight blade,,,,,,,,,,,, ![[Linked Image]](https://i.postimg.cc/pXsDxcQ7/IMG-5701.jpg) I had to fabricate one from a piece of scrap steel I had in the shop. And yes, it needs to be that high. Sure shoots good now. I also tapped aperture 10x32 and installed a Marbles aperture. (Marbles are common 10x32 thread. Lyman and Redfield are a bastid proprietory thread). ![[Linked Image]](https://i.postimg.cc/pdF8fWNb/IMG-5700.jpg)

It will also work for precision shooting, such as a rabbit's head or a gopher... ![[Linked Image]](http://i.imgur.com/NPUDnBO.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](http://i.imgur.com/BDoG7QH.jpg)

I have the Williams receiver sight on my 1886 with a XS front sight. I like the idea of the Lyman 21. Do the Providence copies stay "zeroed"?
