I recently purchased a Springfield Model 1884 trapdoor. I came with a vernier sight (which is attached to the stock and not the tang, which is slightly worrying, but beside the point). It doesn't seem to have any brand marking, and actually looks pretty old. It also has a globe sight on the front, which the gun shop owner said is modern and that he added it to the gun because the front sight was completely missing.
Anyway, the aperture in the rear sight seems pretty big, and I'd like to have options when it comes to shooting it anyway. That being said I'd like too find a replacement, possibly one with an adjustable aperture. So how do I figure out what type of threads I have an what type of replacement will work.
I've included some pictures. I'd love to know more about it.
