I have my father's old (guessing 1950-1980ish) "Hawkins" .50 cal muzzleloader. I have no idea who actually made the rifle. The only "brand" marks on the rifle is of a square with a capitalized "I" inside and followed by "Black Powder Only" and "Made In Italy" and on the top of the barrel it says "Sile Inc. - New York". My problem is this. I need to get a rear sight post for this rifle so that I can start enjoying it again. Any help would be appreciated!

  "Siler Inc." is the lock manufacturer. They are some of the very best modern era locks.
