Same here. Back when the Bisley .480 came out I picked up a enough Starline brass, and a few boxes of factory ammo. At the rate I shoot it I'll be set for as long as I have the revolver.

Robb, You can have it. I appreciate the offer from carbonfibrebob but I am more of square notch target blade kind of guy (and I have one of Fermin's new target rear sights on the way in too)

Tell me about some of the great systems. I'm not finding too many options for Ruger Blackhawk sights (Red dot or scope on this project is not an option I want)

I've dealt with Fermin Garza before so I know anything he is involved with will be first rate. If a Bowen sights does not turn up soon enough I'll try one of those RW Grip sight blades.

Does the MR/BFR sight work as is with the exsiting front sight height, or is trimming of the rear sight blade height required?

Lets try again....originally posted this WTB last December WTB: Bowen Rough Country rear sight for a Blackhawk. Looking for the .350" all black target style blade. Bowen's item # is RCST. New or very good condition. Any leads on where I can source one? (Bowen is out of stock)

I guess I got one of the "good barrel" guns. With no other works than tight action screws, worked up handloads and a decent Leupold scope my tang safety M77 shoots under ¾ MOA with 87 and 100 grain Seirra bullets and IMR4350 powder. I picked up the rifle second hand years ago knowing it might...

Shot? a Lahti L-39 Finnish 20mm anti-tank rifle. Owned and shot? A Ruger No.1 in 38-55 WCF. The story I've read it that Ruger made either 400 or 289 of them for Sloan's some time ago.

Is that Bowen Target sight or a BFR sight?( I hear the BFR will fit) ....but I do like the Rough Country sight's locking screw feature.

There is one on GunBroker right now. Item # 948093385

I happened on to one of those .38-55 Number 1 guns a few years back too.

My .480 is shooting about 16” high at 50 yards with a 375 gr hand load (rear sight bottomed out). I have one of the MR03611 front sights (.440”) that I will install soon and go from there. Brownells has the .440" front sights...

You can buy a .480 tomorrow if you really want to. Here it is http://www.gunbroker.com/Auction/ViewItem.aspx?Item=511667670 :shock:
