That's cool. Can't wait for the 7.62x39 version.

We're going to need to crowd source dimensions for the other barrel variants. I can't justify buying each of them right now.
The pictures on Ruger's website show two different barrel profiles on the three 5/8-24 versions.  The 6.5G looks tapered, while the 300Blk and 7.62x39 have a flange. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: That's cool. Can't wait for the 7.62x39 version. I'd love to test drive one in that caliber. I've heard owners say that the Ranch Rifle in x39 pulls more accuracy out of cheap steel-case commie ball than could reasonably be expected. Would be a cool gun with those iron sights. |

I foresee a set of these going on my 350L. Thanks

@Buckeye33
Just got a report of the 350L not accepting the front sight. We are going to be getting in the customers rifle to get some dimensions. We've already encountered some minor variation on the 5.56 barrels so If you and anyone else can get me some good measurements on additional 350L barrels it would be appreciated. |

Reminds me of the sights on my beloved A1 back in the day - set it and forget it was never more appropriate.

Will these fit on a American Compact in 308?

Quote HistoryQuoted: Will these fit on a American Compact in 308? The rear unit will only fit the short actions. The front sight is dependent on the barrel diameter. The NDS-56 is for a barrel taper that measures between .675"-.687". It may go on a different barrel, but not be in the preferred location. A good gunsmith could cut/turn a barrel to fit in a half hour. |

@Normlizer
You might be able to use our NDS-44 which has a .610" hole. It would require one of the taller KNS front sight posts to zero. A bored out NDS-44 was my test mule for the 5.56 Ranch. |

Thanks for making these. I hope you do really well with them.
I know a guy with a 450B if u need dimensions. The one thing that kept me from being excited about the RAR was a lack of sights. I just love sights and A1 style are the top of my choices. |

I have the 450 and the 350 if you need dimensions.
450 is a couple years old, 350 is fairly new. |

I won't have a rifle without BUIS. YMMV.
Unlike competitors, NodakSpud uses the multi-detent windage adjustment wheel. Much finer adjustment than GI-equivalent that most others use. It's mostly set-and-forget, but having finer initial adjustment increments is a plus. Maybe someday someone will bring back the finger wheel that used to be available for windage adjustment. No tools required for adjustment. Same, increased, number of detents, allowing finer rear sigh windage adjustment. Have written most sight mfrs about this, and all say it's on their "To-Do" list. Put the single one I had on a Tech Sight rear sight for my 10-22 Liberty Training rifle, and it works like a charm. |

How fine is the elevation adjustment of the front sight? It doesn’t seem like this type of sight would be very precise.

We won't be able to work on those until sometime in March at the earliest.

Kinda late to the party here as I rarely venture outside of the silencer forum here on arfcom lol but I have 3 Americans, a Predator in .308, a Ranch in .300blk and a .22mag American that I can measure for you to add to your database if it would help you in anyway. Just let me know.

I measured the barrel of my 7.62x39 American at a couple of points about an inch apart starting right behind the threads and it came out to .717 inches for both measurements. I ended up aggie-engineering my own solution for sights on my Ruger. I used a clamp-on Pic rail at the muzzle and an AR cut-off carry handle sight on the recaiver’s rail. I plan to sight it in tomorrow and I’ll try to get some pictures. |

Finally got all the parts back and assembled.
This is an early gun with the stepped barrel (.730" to .750" flare) so the front sight telescopes over the attached flash hider. Worked really well. NDS-58 front sight (.750" dia) and NDS-60 flash hider mounted on a 7.62x39 RAR.

That's why people need to measure their barrels. To much variation.

Mike, don't take this personally, but the aesthetics of the bottom clamping screws drives me crazy. Is there anyway to make a version of the front sight that is contoured under the barrel with the clamping screws above the barrel and still under the sight post?
ETA - Basically your first sight for the tapered barrels but for .730" straight barrels. |

I agree with you on the aesthetics, but the new sights are easier to machine and stronger.
