T/C High Plains Sporter

I've been wanting another caplock and always liked this model, although they're hard to find I was able to grab one off GB a while back in 50 caliber. It has an aftermarket ramrod which I'd like to replace with a OEM version and I'd like to put a peep sight on it. Does anyone have a 25" T/C ramrod or a model 7197 tang peep sight they'd be willing to part with?

It has a round barrel like a New Englander. I thought about mounting a Williams peep on the barrel which would require drilling and tapping. Has anyone done this? I had a Firehawk that was D&T'd for scope mounts and I was able to mount a peep on it.

You can mount a Skinner Low Pro peep sight on the breech plug. Take out the existing screw and replace it with the Low Pro peep sight. You should be able to use the existing front sight with the Low Pro.

I went on their website but don't see any pics or options for the breech plug sight. I do like the fact that it's attached to the barrel/plug rather than the tang but it doesn't look very strong.

Look for the "Low Pro" sight. I have mounted them on several Renegade barrels with no problems. The sight can only be adjusted for elevation. Horizontal movement would have to be with the front sight.

I have. I’ve used the TC tang sights and the Williams on mine and I’m a big fan. I’m currently using a .40 caliber Hoyt barrel on mine. Sweet shooter…

Thanks! I think I'm going with the Williams sight. I have an EABCO version for my Omega. The tang sights are hard to find and very pricy.
