Tang sight hole location for a Ballard

I am getting ready to do the tang sight holes on my Ballard build so can anyone give me hole to hole dimension and rear hole to end of receiver? Also does the rear most hole lock the tail piece in place so that it doesn't turn? Thanks

The picture has the chart I use for hole spacing.

I would need to measure the rear hole to tang end.  Can tomorrow if no one else gives it.

No, the rear sight screw does not lock the tail in place…at least on the rifles I have had apart it doesn’t.
