Does anybody sell "snazzy" pin-in Ruger front sight blades?
The SBH that belongs to my step son needs a taller front sight. It has one that is about .350". My Accu-Sport has one that is more like .430" and I think that's about what it needs for .44 specials.
I could get a boring Ruger front....

We have a forum member who makes the pin in Ruger blades. All I remember is "Fowler." I believe there is more than one...

Ok, now where do I get the proper pin punch to remove the blade without screwing stuff up?
I made due before and my Accu-Sport has the scars to show it.

Roll pin punch from Brownell's (1/16-inch).

Dennis, I believe Fowlers sight was for a FA or Reeder type front sight base, not a pin in.

I believe Sixshot's son made one for him as well, so he may be able to make you one. A piece of mild steel of the proper thickness would have you in business. Just remove everything that isn't a sight....  Also, when you drill the cross pin remember to drill about half from one side, then the other half from the other side. If you have a good drill press, just clamp it in with the drill bit through the hole and you should be able to drill straight through with the sight in place. |

Hand tools only here, but I am seriously considering making one. I already have some 1/8" steel I grabbed from the scrap bin at work (11 years ago for another project....).
