Title: 1895G Upgrades? Sight?
Post by: mossback91 on January 23, 2014, 04:17:58 PM: I really shouldn't be allowed inside the gun store :chuckle: Walked out with a 1895G 45-70 today. :IBCOOL:

I love it already!!! Shoots pretty damn good! :)

What have you guys done to yours as far as upgrades?

Already considering a the bigger loop lever from wild west guns and maybe trigger?

As for sights Im at a loss.......not sure I really want a scope...What do you guys use?

I have a rear Williams peep that I replaced the appature on with there Ghost ring appature with the fiberglow dots built in and a orange fiberglow in front.

The happy trigger is a really nice upgrade. My trigger is about 3.5 to 4 and super crisp.

I have my scope sighted for the 325 FTX ammo and the iron sights sighted for the HSM bear loads.

Then I have the Galco stock wrap with ammo loops.

This is what I did with my 450 Marlin when I had it. Still not sure why I trade that thing! :bash:
