New Front Sight For The 1851
I decided to go ahead and cut the dovetail and install the Remington front sight on my 1851 Navy. John Taffin has been putting them on his guns plus I need a front sight I can see. That little bitty brass thingy is hard to see in bright sunlight!
Cutting and fitting

I am not sure I will like it. It's very thin and my old eyes don't see as well as they used to. I have other sights I may try. I will give this a go first and see how it works.
