How to Replace the Rear Sight on a Puma 92

The Puma model 1892 is a working replica of the lever-action rifles of the wild West. Chiappa Firearms in Italy makes the rifle. The Puma 92 comes with either octagonal or round barrels, in four different barrel lengths and a variety of calibers. The rifle has an open notch type of rear sight. A single retention screw holds the rear sight. You can easily remove the retention screw, allowing you the option of replacing the sight.
