Just picked up a 1895 Trapper with the Magpul furniture.

It came with skinner sights and the short (6”?) rail.

I wanted the longer rail to mount a Leupold IER 1.5-4x28

Found  a great deal at MWG

Sounds like it was an OEM setup.

I email asking the difference between this one and the much more expensive option they have. They said the more expensive one has an extra different size aperture.

Came in looks perfect. Complete but no instructions

Call them if you need to. Be sure to get torque specs . Use blue locktite. It should be fairly easy install. If you don’t have the skills and tools then have a gunsmith do it and have him lap the rings and mount the scope.

So... I find comfort in the fact that if Trump has to work so hard to go to Heaven, then there is a shit load of Democrats that have no f-cking chance to go anywhere but HELL. Sometimes it is entirely appropriate to kill a fly with a sledge-hammer.

That is a deal.  Been wanting to replace my homemade rail.  In the olden days we couldn’t source anything like this, so I made one.  Puts the optic right where I want it.

I’ll have to see if that linked rail is compatible with my GG, should be.  Looks like the rear sight would need to come off, is there some attachment point I would need to replace the rear with?

Excellent.  There is a support at the rear sight location.

Thanks!

Also found some YouTube videos. Looks pretty easy. I like how the rear sight dovetail is used. Seems really solid.

I’ll likely install the rail and scope over the weekend.

I picked up an 1894 SBL in 44 Magnum and an 1895 SBL in 45-70.

I mounted a Leupold Freedom 1.5-4x28 IER Scout Scope in medium height Warne QD rings on each.

I like that setup.
