Pedersoli front sight

Post by Jimhp02 »

Is there a way to fit a Pedersoli front sight to the front of a Shiloh Sharps? I have a nice Soule tang and front sight coming from MVA but it’s going to take a while. I thought I could use something else in the meantime.

I think the dovetail on the Pedersoli front sight is .375 and the Shiloh is .450.

Anything is possible but I don't think it's worth the effort.

It’s just a globe front with a level

Unfortunately it will be too small for the Shiloh dovetail. Buy yourself a Steve Baldwin front globe sight and be done with it. MVA would be my second choice. You want a front globe spirit level sight with interchangeable inserts. Kelly, Baldwin, MVA, Lee Shaver, and Jim Kuskens all make great sights.
