These little details elevate your KIT | Investarms Flintlock Gemmer Hawken Kit Part 15 The Rear Sight
In this video, we're jumping to the sight set up on this Investarms Gemmer Hawken Kit. The kit comes with a semi-traditional buckhorn rear sight that offers a little adjustment. While this sight isn't the same as seen on an original Gemmer Hawken from the late 19th century, it offers modern muzzleloading hunters a way to have an adjustable sight in a more traditional package. I'll break down how to disassemble this sight, and how to polish each piece as we prepare for metal finishing.
If you have any questions about this kit or the techniques I'm using, leave them in the comments below. I will address as many comments as I can in videos associated with this series to give you as much detail as I can about the answer.
