J-BAR #18287 Posted May 30, 2017 Posted May 30, 2017 Can you please show a photo of the rear sight? The topstrap appears to have been significantly remodeled. Thanks.
Chili Pepper Pete 11917 Posted May 30, 2017 Author Posted May 30, 2017 JBar Here are the pictures you requested As you can see the to strap has been milled thinner and a new sight channel milled in. I have coined this as a "Skinny Top"

Boomstick Bruce Posted June 1, 2017 Posted June 1, 2017 would cutting a 7.5" stainless fixed sites to 5.5" ruin the value or increase it?
Chili Pepper Pete 11917 Posted June 1, 2017 Author Posted June 1, 2017 Yes Blackey I Can, Chili has extra barrels Broomstick, I think it would reduce the collectors value as they have been altered but Ruger made quite a few 7 1/2" fixed sight models. The price didn't jump on these until they stopped making them and has seamed to have leveled off. The going price for a pair of 7 1/2" stainless with boxes and papers will be right around $ 1,500.00 and normally take a little while to sell. People are far more interest in the 5 1/2". I guess it it comes down to what you want to do with it, if you want a matching pair of 5 1/2", I'd sell the 7 1/2" and buy a matching 5 1/2" unmolested. This would give you a pair of un altered guns that can be shot and still maintain their value. Just my thoughts, others may know better Best regards, Chili
The Tonic Kid, SASS #70340 Posted June 2, 2017 Posted June 2, 2017 Hi Pete These sure are pretty. Wish I had the $$$. Good luck selling them. Here's a bump to the top for ya. Tonic

Limping Jim Posted June 22, 2017 Posted June 22, 2017 They sure are purdy .... How did you fill in the gap left by the sight removal, solder or weld, I can't get a magnet to stick to mine, seems to be an aloy or aluminum...whatever you did, it sure turned out nice...
Chili Pepper Pete 11917 Posted June 23, 2017 Author Posted June 23, 2017 I don't do either. I basically thin and re profile the top strap to get rid of the cut out. If you look closely at the top view you can see the small indents of where the sight sat. Thanks for the kind words Best regards Chili

Rooster don't hold your breath, they've been saying they would be bringing them back for the last 5 years or so... once i was told by the ruger rep at a gun show they would be a cap and ball only vaquero like the C&B SAA, and come in 32, 36, and 44... that was 4 years ago... i would bet this though, if they brought them back they won't be based on the blackhawk frame and would probably cost as much if not more than they do now...
