Default RE: Peep Sights for a Flinter

ORIGINAL: PA Bow/Flinter

Thanks for the ideas guys. Alleyyooper, the peep site you have pictured in the one I was interested in. I've email T/C Customer Service to make sure it will fit on my Firestorm before I go an buy it. I got a reply back saying she thought it would, but she is going to check with one of their gunsmiths to make sure.
I believe the firestorm uses the same stock as the NewEnglander. My older NewEnglander was not drilled & tapped for the sight, but newer tangs may be?It uses the rear tang screw, but takes another screw in the center of the tang. I just drilled & tapped a hole for it and it worked out fine. The only fault/complaint I have with the sight is the small hex set screw that locks the elevation adjustment is easily stripped by the hex wrench. T/C sent me a replacement screw, and after I stripped it (not the screw threads - the hex cavity for the wrench) Ithrew it awawand used a cap screw for the lock. (same size screw as T/C uses for the windage adjustment on the sight fits it if I remember right)
