I'm especially interested in info for a .32-20. Thanks!

Still working on loads so I haven't taken the file to it yet...but it shoots everything low so far.

Greg,
The ol' Colt SAA barrel I have is a 4-3/4" 32-20 but the sight doesn't appear stock. It is windage adjustable, set into a dovetail. It also looks like someone used it for a screwdriver or chisel, kinda chopped up. Only 1/8" tall but doubt that it was like that when it was attached to a gun. No help here.

That gives me an idea. Multiple dovetail sights with different heights! HHmmmmmm Anybody else?
