4.1.1 Rear sights: May be open sights, receiver or tang sights manufactured for the rifle
they are mounted on, if requested by a Match Official or the Technical Committee
the competitor must provide documentary evidence of this. No Olympic type sights
or extended mounts are permitted. Front sights must be a post or bead, may be
hooded or if interchangable may use post or bead inserts only.
Bugger - that puts the Uberti out then. Accuracy with the original sights is non-existent
I can't see any other way to mount a peep or tang sight without drilling the receiver, which I'm not going to do. I also can't see any value at all in putting the original sights back on, but I might look at putting some Ruger Fire Sights on her instead.
To build this Uberti into a rifle that is only suitable for competition would be an atrocity, so that isn't an option.
Being out of CLAS though gives me an excuse to mount a scope (why I left the mount plate long) and see what she's really capable of, thanks GR
