Found this RST6 with an aftermarket MICRO SITE added......gotta love that TALLLL front sight......RR.

 

[T.A. WORKMAN]

Looks like someone used a "chicklet" for a pattern for that sight!

WOW :!: :!: very interesting-- NEVER seen that configuration before---neat find 8) I know they made sights for a lotta guns but have seen the aftermarket sights only on RSS's and A fine collection of Great Western SA's thanks for the posting. Getting close to finishing our deal Looks like you would have to really raise up that rear sight to make it work --you ought to shoot it and tell us how it shoots

That gun just cries out for one of those epoxy-on vent ribs made and sold in the '70s. Who was it, Poly-choke that made them?

Certain (though not all) oddball configurations appeal to me for some weird reason, and this is one of them. :?

 

[americal]

It appeals to me also :!: I would like to know if any other forum members have seen a auto with this treatment--if I was into autos sure would like to own this one-- just as and example in a display 8)

Wow, it looks like Poly Choke still makes and sells those ribs! :shock: :shock:

$25 for the rib, $6 for the special bonding goo. That's a steal in 2011 dollars! :shock: :shock:

Wish they had a pic of the 6 7/8" one. The one they show on the 5.5" bull barrel looks like ass. :evil:

ETA: Found a pic on the net of a modified Poly-Choke rib on a 6 7/8".

So if you have a revolver wity one of those glued on ribs, how do you remove it?

I think they'll come off with heat, or by judiciously tapping on them with a hammer. Not sure one can be RE-used after removal, though. :?

Remove a Poly-Choke rib? Bye-Bye blue job.........

Speaking of Poly Chokes, I have my Dad's late '40's Winchester Model 12, 12 gauge

Ah, but it has a Poly Choke......

I have seen that sight around on GB, I may have even bought an example to see if it would work on a Single 6. Seems to me they are more common than some other Micro variants.

Americal, I just saw an ad in a old American Rifleman ( August 1960 ). Micro Sight Co. " Front sight blades for Standard Ruger and Single-Six Ruger in three different width, 1/10" - 1/8" - and - 5/32". I thought they were all the same. Something else to look for...
