Has there ever been a group buy on these, or is a group buy possible. I believe Mr. Clements no longer offers them, and only ever offered them as an in house installation option, or to the likes of Hamilton Bowen. I would like to build a couple of New Vaqueros along these lines: singleactions.proboards.com/thread/14831/grail-gunI like the front sight on that gun as well. Are these sights (front and rear) perhaps something that Fermin might consider producing? Is there the demand to justify production? |

Clements sold his remaining stock to Bobby Tyler.
I'd start with contacting him...

I spoke with Bobby Tyler today. He said he sold out all of those Clements Smith and Wesson sites within four days of receiving them. He is currently waiting to hear back from the machine shop to see if they will build them for him. You often hear people referred to as just the nicest guy. That sentiment certainly applies to Bobby Tyler.

What were they selling for? Asking for a friend… $125 or so. I bought 2 of the last ones Clements had and eventually sold them deciding that would the most expensive $250 I ever spent. |

Are these sights (front and rear) perhaps something that Fermin might consider producing? Is there the demand to justify production? I don’t believe there is enough demand to produce that prewar style rear but if there was it would take a significant group buy to get one off the ground. On that pictured front sight it’s important to understand that the barrel band is part of the barrel and the front sight itself has a separate radius for the barrel and the barrel band. Yes, I can do that. I have an adjustable front sight that is meant to be sighted in and pinned in place and matched to a monolithic rear. I’ll be showing you guys soon enough. Certainly wouldn’t have the romance that the pre war style has but if you need tough it will deliver! |

I'd be in for atleast two prewar rear sights if we can get a group buy going!

They sit low, require minimal machine work and blend perfectly with the top strap. I sold the Bisley Vaquero I had that was fitted with them.  |
