Title: Replacement muzzy sight?
Post by: PolarBear on November 21, 2013, 09:27:54 AM: Howdy
The other day my wife decides to wing open the gun safe sending my Traditions Evolution front stuffer to the concrete floor busting off the rear sight. Being a a relative novice when it comes to these things, what would you fine folks suggest I get for a decent replacement?
Thanks!

:yeah: I had to put a different front sight on my charcoal-burner when I changed to a rear peep sight. No problem, as I was going to put a fiber-optic front sight on anyway. (much better!) Also, put a bigger peep aperture in for hunting. Small apertures are good for target shooting, but difficult in hunting situations.
