I have a Ruger 50th Anniversary 357 "flattop". The rear sight has some nasty sharp edges and corners on it. I've been thinking about doing something about them. I want to disassemble the rear sight and file the edges and corners. The touch up the bluing and reassemble.
The only problems
1 I don't know how to disassemble the sight
2 I have no experience with touch up bluing
Can anyone advise?
Thanks,
HH

I would leave it alone and use it the way it is. If you take the sharp edges off and round them all you get is a reflective edge that makes the rear sight blur in the light. This in turn creates an accuracy issue for you.

The sharp edge is on the adjustment part. The rear leaf (or whatever it is called) is not too bad. The part that holds the leaf, also holds the left/right adjustment screw that is the offending part.

You may wish to check with your local hobby shop to see if they have anything that will help you with the sharp edge. They normally have small deburing tools such as stones and files that are very fine.

Get a Bowen rear sight. Eliminates the "double" sight picture caused by the two flat surfaces on Ruger rear sights. The edges on the Bowen are slightly rounded.

The Bowen sight looked real nice..... until I looked at the price $100!
