Looks pretty slick......I’d be in for one....... maybe two.

I still have one titanium sight. Need some polishing.

Without me having to read this entire thread: will this fit the Ranch Hand?? thks
Re: The new self-made rear sight
If you have safety - it will. I think, the front sight hight is the same.
Re: The new self-made rear sight
I forget to say, that you can shoot wiht my rear sight WITHOUT the ghost ring as witn usual open sight - in low light condition or on close distance. For that purpose the hight of my sight is the same as rossi rear sight.

Re: The new self-made rear sight
vtoran, your sight is very well made. The machining is so smooth and precise that when I tried to put it in and it got stuck, I had a friend who has more skills than I do to put it in place correctly before I broke something. And yet it is very tough.
Thanks!
Thanks!

Re: The new self-made rear sight
Glad you like it. You are the first of American users who wrote about the experience with my sight.
Taking to the account current difficult situation, I can offer the last sight I have (titanium) for $99 shipped.

Re: The new self-made rear sight
I do mean it; I am not saying it to make you feel good. I may not have expressed myself (I was in a hurry) but the best way to describe it is: there are other rear sights that sit on the bolt replacing the safety, but yours is in a completely different league. When I first tried to adjust the height I thought it was broken because I did not feel the kind of resistance I would expect in a, say, tang sight. That was because the machining is so precise there is no binding.
Now, I do not hunt but do wonder how effective it would be, as it is small enough it might not snag into things (a tang sight would be more delicate).
