Title: Was $400 too much to pay for a 1896 C rear sight?
Post by cgt4570 on Jun 17^th, 2011 at 6:37pm

I just agreed to buy a complete correct 1896 C rear sight for $400 for my 1898 Carbine (shown in a previous discussion thread). Was that a fair price? My existing sight is a C base with a rifle ladder. Is the C base worth much without the correct ladder? Just wondering if I can recoup anything by selling the take-off sight.
