Joe
I have one of those Red River Stevens-Pope tang sights for one of my Ballards. I used it for a couple of shooting seasons but gave up on it. Too many fussy little things were not up to what is really needed on a sight for target shooting. I went back to my old MVA Soule Schuetzen. It's a far higher quality sight, which is particularly noticeable when shooting matches.

There are indeed two Americas. Simply put, it is not the haves and have nots. The two Americans are in reality divided into those who do and those who don't.

Agree completely.  I have a Parts Unknown version on my Farrow.  An exercise in frustration.

Ballards may be weaker,
but they sure are neater!

If you don't come up with the original false muzzle, you might consider having Steve make up a non rifled false muzzle and fit it to the gun. Then the bullet can be a slip fit into the false muzzle and still be used with the gun. Plus it will make the gun appear more complete with it as part of the rifle.
I made one for a .38-55 Schoyen I own that's missing it's false muzzle. Since a Schoyen wasn't numbered, I'll likely never find a false muzzle that might fit mine.

Joe,
what yardages are you planning to shoot this at, 100 and 200  or Silhouettes?

That's a really nice restoration.  Congratulations.  Please follow-up with a range report in due course.
