I looked at the link too. Not sure which part number but I would call Williams to make sure you got the right one.

I did need a taller front sight for my Bighorn. I just looked for a part number but could not find one. It is slightly taller than the stock sight. My front sight came from Knight.

I just bought one for my bighorn ,the #054253 FP-LEGEND-TK that one is silver with target knobs.
It's better to have a gun and not need it than to need one and not have it.                                                                             Local 66 sheetmetal workers

I have the basic peep sight. Maybe with the target knobs you would not need a new front sight. Not sure.

This is the one I put on my Bighorn....camo/stainless.  Put the same sight on my Wolverine camo/ blued...only blued in color on that sight.  Google egunparts......much cheaper....$35.03, instead of $65-$80.

Just curious, did you need to get a new front sight with that one?

Have not shot mine yet, but a friend bought a Bighorn and the same sight.....he just removed the rear stock sight on the Bighorn and left the front on.  Said he seemed to be able to see the front sight (fiber optic) just fine with the peep.

I just bought the Firesight Ghost Ring Aperture and am going to see if it fits onto the base of the Williams Firesight that came on my Bighorn.  It looks like it should fit right on there but will let you guys know when I get it.  If it works it cost me $13.95 with shipping.

I just ordered the WGRS-legend for my bighorn.  It is listed for "modern Muzzleloading" legend and wolverinre.  Modern ML is (was) knight, and the wolverine is the same receiver as the bighorn (so I was told)

The Bighorn and Wolverine are essentially the same gun, just different models (different barrel lengths, camo etc.).  Bighorn comes with all the ignition systems....Wolverine does not...just comes with one...either .209 or percussion/musket cap.  Everything interchanges between the two.  That's the reply I got from Knight when I asked about switching out the .209 plug in the Wolverine and replacing it with the #900023 breech plug, which accepts caps, and comes with  the Bighorn.

Just got the sight.  On the back it says the WGRS legend fits Legend, Wolverine, Bighorn and American.  Fits factory drill and tap.

It screwed right on, looks slightly higher than my OE sight, but I think OK due to factory being low at 100 yds.  I like the compact size.

Did you order off the Williams site?  I ordered mine on the 10th and haven't seen it yet!
