    Anyone know if all Buckmarks share the same rear sight assembly mounting? Or did it change over the years? I’ve got my 7 day wait on a used buckmark that has a rail and handgun scope installed and I’d like to swap that for a rear sight assembly for irons.

    I stupidly didn’t look close enough to tell what model year it was. Older, but maybe not too old? I think it used the 1997 and older S/N prefix, but it may not have (I thought it started with a 6, but it might have started with a 5). It did have a gold anodized trigger, but sure seemed 20+ years old for condition. Not sure when good anodized triggers were a thing for them.

    Any help would be appreciated. Just trying to figure out now how much of a pain is it going to be to swap the rail for a sight base.

    It changed around the early 90's. They went from a rear sight that was under 1" long to one that was a little over. If you check the William Sights site you can see photos of both types.

    Thanks! I ended up just getting the tacsol rail with sights and that works. Mine is a ‘97 BTW
