williams fp sight

[smokepoles]

I just put a fp on my Browning High Wall 45/70. Darn tang just was in my way, and never seem to reset same. Buckhorn not working as well with my eyes as used to. It is clear that I will need a higher front sight. Thinking of the high Lyman 17 globe. Any experience here?

Also, I haven't yet had time to play with the adjustments on the fp. I understand the click adjustments and lock screws, but what is the larger screw on the side for? Quick removal of top part? Lock?

Thanks in advance

Quick removal, leaving the base still on the gun. mine has a push button not a screw.
