The breakdown of rifles, carbines and muskets is 79.6%, 17.7% and 2.7% respectively. 

Despite the fact that carbines were lower priced; says something about what shooters of the time thought was important.

Here are a couple of photos of original Rocky Mountain front and Sporting rear sights in my collection.  The Rocky Mountain was offered in different heights.

Bill,

What is the height on the R.M. sight you have?  I have been looking for one to put back on one of my high-wall Single Shot rifles (CAL. 40-70 SHARPS STR.)

  

Bert… now I know what you’re looking for.  I’ve never had one to sell… hope this works out for you.  If Bill is looking to make a trade and needs something you don’t have… let me know if I can assist.  You both could scrounge thru my inventory if that would help make it happen.

Ben,

I am still on the hunt for a R.M. sight exactly like the one Bill has.  Blued steel blade with the platinum line insert. .370 height.
