No kidding!

So ignorant question here - are these micro-site guns built at the factory or are they custom gunsmith jobs? I've seen a few around here and there, and being a bullseye shooter and interested in all things target, I always assumed the target sights were aftermarket jobs. Am I wrong and these were actually factory options?

Good looking RSS.

The sights were sold as aftermarket bits, installed by owners or dealers or gunsmiths.

There are rumors of factory-installed Micros.

I had a good talk with John Dougan and the president of micro sight company said some RSS's were sent to their facility to have the sights installed--that was a offer by micro-sight company to Ruger owners of the RSS so I have no idea how many out there---hard to find--I have had many Ruger collectors and others looking since 1995 or so found 19 but sold some to upgrade my little collection--some of them had long barrels installed to--very good shooters--I know where a few are---- not for sale Great Western SA's had them installed at their factory saw a great display of them with huge micro sights own them --plum guns too--went back to that display all day at the show in Birmingham, Al. :wink:

Forum member Sam Johnson found this flatgate MICRO-SIGHTED re-barreled RSS on the west cost--has a premier gate also-my shooter gun--it is the most accurate RSS I have ever shot--the barrel is a fine one --NO GAP between the cylinder and barrel ,have to work to get the cy. back in the gun. My pictures are to dark gonna make some more :arrow: I HOPE

Wow indeed! Neat!

:shock: :shock: :shock:

How long is that barrel?

Ale--posted this crazy old RUGER all over the internet :lol: :lol: thought everyone + some had seen it--had two others about like it --but not 12.5 inches :roll: not to hard to hold--but a rest and it puts them were you aim--if I miss a bottle top at 25 yards its me --I moved :x aim right at object not at 6 o'clock. John D. told me he has 5 or so and is still looking so I guess I ain't all crazy :lol: :lol:

I believe I've seen it before, but couldn't recall if you'd mentioned the length.

Very interesting piece. Thanks for sharing.
