Post by ShilohSharps »

Would like to locate a tang sight for a Farmingdale Two Band New Model 1863, can anyone be of help? Center to center on the Tang screws are
2.1 inch (2 1/16"). Thanks for the time, Dan

Thanks Kirk, I have a MVA Soule Sight #103 that I use on my 1874 LRE, so I took your advice and e-mailed MVA looking for another base that I can mount on the Farmingdale New Model 1863 and use the staff between the two rifles. Thanks for the lead........Dan

I just received a E-mail from MVA (Jim Grier), they will make up a custom base for me. They would like a tracing of the tang from my Farmingdale rifle. Thanks again Kirk and Lee Stone for the info..............Dan
