Not enough "meat" on the recoil shield/frame rear for adj rear sights. But....on the front the trick is to get rid of the bead, and have a taller sight dovetailed into the barrel. A really good gunsmith, Nate Kiowa Jones in Orange TX, does this.
Steve's Gunz You might also check into getting the hardened firing pins put in - the sorta soft originals have a tendency to peen after a while. Mine did. I shoot a pair of OTs in .38, 4.75" barrels, with nothing but BP cartridges! |

thanks for the informant reply. I think I`m just going to install a universal picatinny rail on the barrel that wiil extend back over the cylinder & mount the sights (front & rear) to it. I have 3 B&C open tops, so one will be my exspeimental one.

I've removed the original brass stump...installed a taller front bead..and filed the hammer notch to sight these in.
For as cheesy as the Colt style repro's I've owned were...they do tend to shoot nice. |
