Rear sight for Redhawk?

by anachronism, Sunday, April 08, 2012, 17:32 (4613 days ago)

I recently picked up an older Redhawk that has a slight issue. The elevation detents in the rear sight don't hold, and elevation screw backs out until it finally comes out completely and disappears. I've found it twice, but don't expect to be this lucky again. I'm probably ready for a new rear sight assy, but Millett is gone, and Bowen is painfully expensive. Any suggestions?

Too practical (LOL)

I didn't stop to think that Ruger might have corrected this little flaw.

The Bowen does fix the problem.

got one on mine. I also got his spring kit. In cold (ok really cold) weather the stock spring will not set off a primer !! Had it happen to me. The Bowen spring kit has or had 3 different springs that you could pick the one that most suited to you.
