I probably know the answer to this already but on the offchance I'm wrong - is there any reasonable way to put adjustable, or even different fixed sights on hte rear of my fixed sight Single Six?
Big difference in the cost depending on whether it has the dovetail rear sight or the hog wallow. With the hog wallow, no welding is necessary, which is why Clements is able to do it with a custom front sight for a measly $200. He designed his new proprietary rear sight specifically for that purpose...no welding. The dovetail topstrap WILL require welding and that will add to the cost immensely. Bowen gets at least $500 just for a topstrap conversion, additional for the new front sight. I just wouldn't see the purpose in doing that.rugerguy":13yuqd39 said:nick, no matter which it is , the early :dovetailed ; or the "later" grooved ,ala Colt ( Vaquero) it would need to be welded up, remachined to cut a slot for the longer tang style
It's a good idea but I don't think it would be possible. I talked to Stroh about doing a .327 on my .32 Bisley with the dovetail rear sight. He says he does not silver solder bases on anymore and thus, all his bases are a little taller than usual. We both agreed that the best course would be to use a dovetail front sight base with a pinned blade. The Weigand base is also fairly tall.c.r.":13yuqd39 said:My one concern is if you can get one of the bases with a low enough profile that it will work with the factory ruger rear sight.
