1895 Win Advice
Fellows,
I have a 1900 vintage 1895 that I had sleeved back to .30-40 as the bore was totally gone. The gun is mostly "In the White" from saddle scabbard wear and Montana/North Dakota dust. The wrist has a typical old time repair with a cross bolt. I suffered a bad fall about a year ago and broke the original King's front and rear sight which I replaced with a Marbles buck horn.

I dearly love this old rifle but my eyes can't handle the open sights any more. I am contemplating installing a Providence Tool reproduction Lyman 21 sight. I can shoot aperture sights fairly well. If it was your gun, would you do it? Thoughts please.
