Primitive rear sights -

Post by Kissmybrass » Mon Sep 27, 2021 3:51 pm

Ordered a couple different sights for my BB .357 project hoping one of them would work but they won't fit and I'm not a gunsmith :-(
Gotta say they are well done. Anybody need em?

Are they too big or too small for the dovetail?

too wide and too shallow but check it out! I filed all afternoon to get it in and it is in solid :-)
There's just a little air between the barrel and the bottom of the sight.

Good work. Watch out though next thing you know you will have hundreds of dollars invested in tools to work on your guns.
