Call me skeptical or whatever you like, but I have four Bowen rear sights that I've used to replace several Ruger factory rear sights.... and none of my Bowen rear sights look like this... but all my Ruger factory sights DO! Did I miss the run of Bowen rears that were identical to Ruger sighhs? www.ebay.com/itm/174819190489 |

Wow, he is terribly misinformed or trying to scam your money. That is definitely NOT a Bowen sight!

I wonder if the owner placed the original sight in the Bowen bag when it was replaced. I’ll put the originals in the bag the replacement parts came in just in case I want/need to swap them out again. I think I’ll start putting the originals in a bag marked as such before placing them in the replacement parts bag. That should help alleviate some grief when my heirs have to clean out my accumulation.

That should help alleviate some grief when my heirs have to clean out my accumulation. I thought exactly that because I do the same thing with my sights, simply to save them for a rainy day/just in case. I'm guessing the seller may have acquired the part without knowing what the bag actually contained and is selling based off the information he/she has (giving the benefit of the doubt here). |

That might be the answer, putting the replaced Ruger rear sight in the Bowen box. I tend to do that and mark which gun it went on on the little box.
I've got revolver stuff all over the place it seems. It makes perfect sense to me but thinking about it, I suspect my bride won't understand my superior storage ideas. She's gonna have fun if I leave before her. Luckily my son wants all of the revolvers and also luckily my daughter wants some of it too! The children (mid 20's) at least know there's a big difference in price between revolvers marked "Freedom Arms" and "Ruger".
I doubt much of anything I've accumulated makes it onto Ebay...

Could have been an honest mistake and somebody messaged him.

Could have been an honest mistake and somebody messaged him. It would appear it was exactly that as the seller now has it relisted with an accurate description and price. 👍 |
