Rear Sight on 1900 American Eagle

I agree with Ron Wood that this is a very well done modification. It is unfortunate that it was done on a rare model. While the modification could be reversed by a qualified professional machinist/gunsmith...if you price the work required, I am sure that you would find that it would not be inexpensive, and I doubt you would ever recoup your investment in the reversal of the modification back to a standard rear sight.

I recommend that you enjoy it for what it is... a quality shooter that you got for a good price.
