If you think you would like a new rear sight keep in mind as you get older you may need reading glasses. If your rear sight has started to get blury you already do. When figuring out where to put your sight silde it down the barrel until it's no longer fuzzy.This will shorten your sight raidus but give you a better picture.If your sight is already filed in you need to make a brass or silver slug to fill the old dovetail.You will see this on older flintlocks where the owner moved the rear sight forward as they became older.This works better than dealing with a bad sight picture.Good luck.
