I have this unremarkable 1873. I say unremarkable because it’s just a standard 32 WCF with a 26” Octagon barrel in well used condition. 
If I understand the math correctly, and assuming it’s applicable to these rifles, I need a front site that is .39 to .40” tall. 
If anyone has one, let me know. Rather support members before hitting ebay. 

The SN is shown, if helpful in determination of appropriate style. 

Thank you 

Justin

Thanks Bob. I was doing the complicated math from Marble Arms site. I went to law school to avoid doing math 🙂

Then, anyone with a .360 sight, please let me know.

Justin, I am still going to Cody.  What parts would you like me to look for?
